Description

Sulfonic Acids, C13-17-sec-Alkane, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from secondary alkane sulfonates. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, even in hard water and acidic conditions. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the detergent, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: A key ingredient in liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and industrial degreasers for its superior grease-cutting and foaming power.
• Personal Care Products: Used in shampoos, shower gels, and facial cleansers as a primary or co-surfactant for its mildness and good skin compatibility.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and leveling agent in dyeing, scouring, and finishing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers, plastics, and polymer dispersions.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its interfacial tension reduction properties.
