Description

Benzenesulfonic Acid, Mono-C10-16 Alkyl Derivs., Compds. With Dimethylamine is a high-purity, industrially significant surfactant intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in the formulation of high-performance cleaning and processing agents. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors for its reliable performance and chemical stability.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaner Formulations: Acts as a key anionic surfactant and emulsifier in industrial and institutional cleaners, degreasers, and hard surface cleaners.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants and lubricants.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Employed as a surfactant in the production of polymers like styrene-butadiene and acrylic lattices.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and dispersant.
• Leather Processing: Aids in the wetting and degreasing of hides during the tanning process.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Acts as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers in water-based coating systems.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards and batch-to-batch consistency. Quality parameters are strictly monitored, including active matter content, free amine, pH, and color. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing the specific test results for your quality assurance records.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
