Description

Magnesium Xylenesulphonate is an organometallic salt derived from xylenesulfonic acid. This compound serves as a versatile hydrotrope and surfactant intermediate, valued for its ability to enhance the solubility of organic compounds in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in industrial cleaning formulations, agrochemicals, and as a processing aid in various chemical syntheses.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a hydrotrope and coupling agent in heavy-duty liquid detergents, degreasers, and alkaline cleaners.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a dispersant and solubility enhancer in pesticides, herbicides, and liquid fertilizer blends.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a catalyst or intermediate in organic reactions and polymerization processes.
• Textile Processing: Employed in dyeing baths and finishing agents to improve dye solubility and leveling.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a component in drilling muds and well stimulation fluids.
• Personal Care: Used in select rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes for viscosity control.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Xylenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your production needs.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
