Description

Sodium Xylenesulfonate is a versatile anionic surfactant and hydrotrope widely used to enhance the solubility and stability of formulations. Its primary value lies in its ability to solubilize organic compounds in aqueous systems, preventing cloudiness and phase separation. This makes it a critical component for manufacturers in the detergent, personal care, agrochemical, and textile industries seeking to improve product clarity and performance.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a hydrotrope and coupling agent in liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners to maintain clarity and stabilize viscosity.
• Personal Care Products: Used in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps as a solubilizer for fragrances, essential oils, and other hydrophobic ingredients.
• Agrochemicals: Enhances the solubility and efficacy of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides in concentrated aqueous solutions.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent and dye leveling assistant in dye baths and finishing solutions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key ingredient in high-performance floor cleaners, degreasers, and metal treatment baths.
• Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and particle stabilizer in emulsion polymerization processes.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for coatings.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Xylenesulfonate is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for active content, purity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, sulfonate content, pH, and appearance is available for every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking and absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
