Description

Sodium Ethylbenzenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant and organic sulfonate salt widely utilized in industrial formulations. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties, making it a versatile chemical intermediate. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and detergent industries for the production of specialized formulations.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent and dispersant in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Textile Processing: Used as a levelling agent and detergent in dyeing and scouring processes for synthetic fibers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty liquid and powder detergent formulations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the synthesis of synthetic rubbers and polymers like SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber).
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a component in drilling mud formulations and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes.
• Leather Processing: Used in the tanning and finishing stages as a wetting and penetrating agent.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
