Description

Sodium Dodecanoyloxybenzenesulfonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from benzenesulfonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and foaming properties in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable performance and supply chain consistency.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for superior emulsification.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling mud formulations and enhanced oil recovery processes for its surfactant properties.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dodecanoyloxybenzenesulfonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your production needs.

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); keep the original container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
