Description

Lithium Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is an organometallic salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, valued for its surfactant properties and thermal stability. This compound is a key ingredient in the formulation of high-performance lubricants, greases, and industrial cleaning agents. It is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant, polymer, and specialty chemical industries seeking effective anionic surfactants with lithium counterions.

Application

• Lithium Complex Grease Thickener: Acts as a key component in the saponification process for manufacturing high-performance lithium complex greases, providing excellent mechanical stability and high-temperature resistance.
• Industrial Detergent Formulations: Serves as a potent anionic surfactant in heavy-duty cleaning products, degreasers, and metalworking fluids.
• Polymerization Aid: Used as an emulsifier or dispersant in certain emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Functions in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in lubricating systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and detergent in textile scouring and dyeing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
