Description

Lithium Tetrapropylenebenzenesulphonate is an organolithium sulfonate salt widely utilized as a high-performance anionic surfactant and phase-transfer catalyst. Its value lies in its excellent surface-active properties, thermal stability, and effectiveness in non-aqueous and specialized solvent systems. This compound is essential for industries requiring precise chemical synthesis, advanced material formulation, and specialized detergent applications where lithium counter-ions offer specific advantages.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Formulations: Acts as a key anionic surfactant in industrial and institutional cleaning products, offering stability in hard water and compatibility with various builders.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reactants in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis for alkylation, esterification, and polymerization processes.
• Polymerization Aid: Employed in the production of specialty polymers and resins, where it can act as an emulsifier or stabilizer in emulsion and suspension polymerization systems.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling mud formulations and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications due to its surfactant properties and tolerance to challenging conditions.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, dispersant, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Incorporated as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reagent and intermediate in chemical research for developing new materials and catalytic systems.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Tetrapropylenebenzenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications are available upon request 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 quality.
