Description

Benzene, 1,2-dimethyl-, polypropene derivs., sulfonated Polypropylene alkylated o-xylene, sulfonated Benzene,1,2-dimethyl-,polypropene derivs.,sulfonated Polypropylene alkylated o-xylene,sulfonated CAS NO 68081-79-8 is a specialized class of sulfonated alkyl aromatic surfactants derived from polypropylene-alkylated o-xylene. This product matters as a high-performance anionic surfactant and hydrotrope, offering excellent solubility, wetting, and emulsifying properties in demanding formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile processing, and oilfield chemical sectors for creating stable, effective, and multi-functional products.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a powerful wetting agent and hydrotrope in heavy-duty alkaline cleaners, degreasers, and floor care formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance stability and spray performance.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and wetting agent in various textile pretreatment and dyeing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds, stimulation acids, and production chemicals as a surfactant for corrosion inhibition and fluid compatibility.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and coupling agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants and drawing compounds.
• Paint & Coatings: Used as a dispersant and grinding aid for pigments in water-based coating systems.
• Household Cleaners: Incorporated into liquid dishwashing detergents and all-purpose cleaners for improved grease cutting and foam stability.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block for further chemical synthesis of specialty surfactants and functional additives.

Quality Control

Our production of sulfonated alkyl aromatic surfactants adheres to strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent performance characteristics such as active matter content, unsulfonated oil levels, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications are provided with every shipment. While produced for industrial applications, our quality systems are designed to support formulations requiring reliable and traceable raw materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. For long-term storage, ensure containers are kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
