Description

Potassium Xylenesulphonate is a versatile anionic surfactant and hydrotrope widely used in industrial and consumer formulations. Its primary value lies in its excellent solubility enhancement and coupling properties, which improve the clarity and stability of concentrated liquid products. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to optimize product performance and process efficiency. Potassium Xylenesulphonate CAS NO 30346-73-7 is a key ingredient for formulators requiring robust compatibility in complex chemical systems.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a hydrotrope and coupling agent in liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners to maintain clarity and prevent phase separation.
• Agrochemicals: Used as a solubilizer and stabilizer in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance the dissolution of active ingredients.
• Personal Care Products: Employed in shampoos, body washes, and other cosmetic preparations to improve viscosity and ensure uniform blending of components.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in high-performance industrial degreasers and sanitizers for its effective cleaning and coupling power.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent and dye leveling assistant in textile dyeing and finishing baths.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a phase transfer catalyst or an intermediate in various organic synthesis 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
