Description

Ammonium (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-Octamethylhexadecyl)Benzenesulphonate is a specialized ammonium salt of a highly branched alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactant. This compound is engineered to deliver superior surface activity and compatibility in demanding formulations where standard linear surfactants may fall short. It is a critical performance additive for industries requiring advanced wetting, emulsification, and dispersion properties in complex chemical systems.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a high-performance surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds, completion fluids, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications for its emulsifying and dispersing capabilities.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective adjuvant and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and active ingredient penetration.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, dispersant, and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Polymerization & Emulsion Processes: Employed as a specialty surfactant in the production of polymers, latexes, and synthetic rubbers.
• Metalworking Fluids: Provides emulsification and surface wetting in coolants, lubricants, and drawing compounds.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off Products): Can be utilized in specialized industrial skin cleansers and heavy-duty soaps where its robust surfactant properties are beneficial.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-Octamethylhexadecyl)Benzenesulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and ionic composition are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance and flow characteristics.
