Description

Ammonium Ethylbenzenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant and organic ammonium salt derived from ethylbenzene sulfonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive in the production of specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and industrial cleaning formulations. Global industries rely on its consistent performance and compatibility in complex chemical processes.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: Key raw material for synthesizing specialized anionic surfactants used in detergents and emulsifiers.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Component in heavy-duty cleaners, degreasers, and metal treatment solutions.
• Textile Processing: Used as a levelling agent and dye dispersant in textile dyeing and finishing operations.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant properties.
• Polymerization Aid: Serves as an emulsifier or stabilizer in certain emulsion polymerization processes.
• Personal Care: Found in select rinse-off products where its specific surfactant properties are required.
