Description

Sodiumhexadecenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant derived from a C16 olefin. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a key ingredient for formulators in the industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical sectors seeking effective surface-active performance.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective dispersant and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Personal Care: May be used as a foaming and cleansing agent in select rinse-off products.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in formulations for drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery processes.

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); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
