Description

Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid, Monoethanolamine Condensate is a versatile anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent formed by the neutralization of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid with monoethanolamine. This compound is valued for its excellent detergency, wetting, and foaming properties, making it a critical component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries to enhance product efficacy and stability.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, acid cleaners, and floor care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations for its superior wetting and dispersing capabilities.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a base surfactant in select cleansing products, including shampoos and bath gels, where specific anionic properties are required.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Employed as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers and polymers like SBR and ABS.
