Description

Dodecylbenzenesulphonic Acid, Compound With 1-Aminopropan-2-Ol (1:1) is a high-purity, neutralized salt form of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) offering enhanced handling characteristics and stability. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, combining the surfactant properties of a sulfonic acid with the solubility and buffering effects of an alkanolamine. It serves as a critical intermediate and active ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors, where consistent quality and reliable performance are paramount.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier in Industrial Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and institutional formulations due to its excellent wetting and emulsifying power.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Formulations: Used in the production of shampoos, shower gels, and liquid soaps as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant, offering mildness and good foaming properties.
• Textile Processing Aid: Functions as a leveling agent, wetting agent, and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Intermediate for Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for the manufacture of other specialty surfactants, lubricant additives, and corrosion inhibitors.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
