Description

Aluminium Xylenesulphonate is an organometallic salt widely utilized as a versatile intermediate and catalyst in industrial synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to function as a Lewis acid catalyst and a sulfonation agent, facilitating key chemical transformations. This compound is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the agrochemical, polymer, and specialty chemical sectors seeking efficient process aids.

Application

• Catalyst in Organic Synthesis: Acts as a Lewis acid catalyst for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, esterification, and other condensation processes.
• Intermediate for Surfactants: Serves as a key building block in the production of specialized anionic and amphoteric surfactants for industrial cleaners and formulations.
• Crosslinking Agent: Used in the manufacture of certain thermosetting resins and polymers to enhance structural integrity and thermal stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the production of certain herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Paper Sizing Agent: Functions as a component in rosin-based sizing agents to improve water resistance in paper and paperboard.
• Textile Auxiliary: Used in dyeing and printing processes as a fixing agent or mordant to improve color fastness.

Quality Control

Our Aluminium Xylenesulphonate is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
