Description

Sodium 4-(Dodecyloxy)Benzenesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from benzenesulphonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and specialty cleaning industries seeking reliable performance and batch-to-batch consistency.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations for enhanced fiber penetration and level dyeing.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and hard surface cleaners.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant properties.
• Leather Processing: Used in tanning and fat-liquoring processes for uniform chemical application.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 4-(Dodecyloxy)Benzenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and performance metrics is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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