Description

Ammonium Cumenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant and hydrotropic agent derived from cumene. This compound is valued for its excellent solubility enhancement and surface-active properties in concentrated aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in industrial formulations where it acts as a coupling agent and viscosity modifier. Key sectors requiring this chemical include agrochemicals, textile processing, and specialty cleaning products.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a solubilizer and stabilizer for pesticides and herbicides, improving their efficacy and tank-mix compatibility.
• Textile Processing: Used in dyeing and printing processes as a levelling agent and to enhance dye solubility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a hydrotrope in concentrated liquid detergents and alkaline cleaners to maintain clarity and stability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as an intermediate or a catalyst in certain organic synthesis reactions.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling mud formulations and other oilfield applications for its surfactant properties.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in process chemicals to aid in the dispersion of resins and other additives.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Cumenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. While we offer standard industrial grade, our quality control protocols can be adapted to meet specific customer requirements. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is provided with every shipment.

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); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
