Description

Benzenesulfonic Acid, Mono-C7-17-Alkyl Derivs. is a versatile class of anionic surfactants derived from the alkylation of benzenesulfonic acid with a mixture of C7 to C17 alkyl chains. This chemical structure provides excellent detergency, wetting, and emulsifying properties, making it a critical intermediate and additive in industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the production of industrial and institutional cleaners, textile processing aids, and emulsion polymerization processes.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metal cleaning formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, detergent, and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a dispersing and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and oil spill dispersants due to its surfactant properties.
