Description

Dipotassium Oxybis[(1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl)Benzenesulphonate] is a high-purity, specialty anionic surfactant and hydrotrope agent, known for its excellent solubility and stability in concentrated electrolyte solutions. This compound is critical for formulating high-performance industrial and institutional cleaning products where compatibility with harsh chemical environments is required. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to enhance the clarity, viscosity, and efficacy of their concentrated liquid formulations.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a powerful hydrotrope and coupling agent in heavy-duty alkaline, acidic, and chlorinated cleaners, preventing surfactant precipitation and ensuring formula stability.
• Concentrated Liquid Detergents: Used in laundry and dishwashing detergents to improve the solubility of nonionic surfactants and builders in high-concentration, compact liquid products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a dispersant and stabilizer in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing the compatibility of active ingredients and adjuvants.
• Personal Care Products: Employed in certain rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes as a viscosity modifier and clarifier, particularly in systems containing salts.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting and leveling agent in dye baths and chemical treatment baths for fibers and fabrics.
• Metalworking Fluids: Aids in the solubilization of corrosion inhibitors and other additives in concentrate formulations.
