Sulphonated Products – High-Performance Surfactants for Various Industries
Sulphonated Products play a vital role in different industries. They offer high-quality surfactants for household, industrial, and personal care applications. These products provide excellent foaming, emulsifying, and cleaning properties. Their versatility makes them essential in various formulations. Our Sulphonated Products include Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) 97%, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) 29%, and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES 2EO 70%).
Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) 97%
Production Process & Technology
Manufacturers produce LABSA by sulfonating linear alkyl benzene (C10-C13) with Sulfur Trioxide. This process ensures high-quality surfactants with outstanding detergency.
Applications & Uses
LABSA serves as a major ingredient in:
- Laundry detergents (powders & liquids)
- Dishwashing liquids and cleaners
- Kitchen and bathroom cleaners
- Hard surface cleaners (ready-to-use & dilutable)
- Car wash products (manual & automatic)
- Textile scouring agents
- Agricultural adjuvants (Tank Mix Adjuvants, Suspoemulsions, and Microemulsions)
Key Specifications
- Appearance: Viscous brown liquid
- Active Matter: Minimum 96%
- Free Acid (H₂SO₄): Max 1.2%
- Unsulfonated Matter: Max 2%
- Water Content: Max 1%
- Molecular Weight: 320 ± 2 g/mol
Storage & Handling
Store LABSA according to local regulations and keep it away from direct sunlight. Maintain storage temperatures between 30-40°C to avoid viscosity-related pumping issues. Stainless steel 316 tanks or coated carbon steel tanks are ideal for storage.
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) 29%
Production Process & Technology
SLS is created by sulfating fatty alcohols using the SO₃ process. This process results in an anionic surfactant with excellent foaming and viscosity characteristics.
Applications & Uses
SLS is commonly found in:
- Shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps
- Bath products and fine fabric washes
- Liquid dishwashing detergents
- Agricultural wettable powders and tank mix adjuvants
- Household and industrial cleaners
Key Specifications
- Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
- Active Matter: 28 – 30%
- pH (10% solution): 11 – 12
- Sodium Sulfate: Max 0.8%
- Unsulfated Matter: Max 0.6%
- Molecular Weight: 296 g/mol
Storage & Handling
Store SLS at temperatures between 30-43°C to maintain its quality. Freezing and overheating should be avoided. Use 316 stainless steel tanks, pumps, and pipes for proper storage and handling.
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES 2EO 70%)
Production Process & Technology
SLES 2EO is a 70% active sodium lauryl ether sulfate. It comes from fatty alcohols ethoxylated with two moles of ethylene oxide. This anionic surfactant provides superior foaming and improved mildness compared to SLS.
Applications & Uses
SLES 2EO is widely used in:
- Shampoos, shower gels, and facial cleansers
- Liquid laundry detergents and fine fabric washes
- Car and truck washes
- Household and industrial cleaning solutions
- Agricultural emulsions and adjuvants
Key Specifications
- Appearance: Colorless to slight yellow paste
- Active Matter: 68 – 70%
- pH (3% solution): 7.0 – 9.0
- Sodium Sulfate: Max 1%
- Unsulfated Matter: Max 3%
- Molecular Weight: 380.7 – 392.2 g/mol
Storage & Handling
SLES 2EO should be stored at 30-43°C, away from direct sunlight. Freezing can lead to viscosity issues. 316 stainless steel tanks are recommended for safe storage.
