product description

Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid is an important anionic surfactant. It typically appears as a viscous brown liquid, characterized by strong acidity as well as excellent detergency and foaming properties. Due to the presence of a long-chain alkyl group and a hydrophilic sulfonic acid group in its molecular structure, it can significantly reduce the surface tension of water and exhibits excellent emulsifying and wetting capabilities.

Product Usage

Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid is a widely used anionic surfactant. In the detergent industry, it serves as a key raw material for producing household and industrial liquid detergents and laundry powders, offering excellent detergency, foaming, and emulsifying properties. In the textile and dyeing industry, it is used as a penetrating agent and degreaser, helping dyes penetrate evenly and removing grease from fabrics. Additionally, it acts as an auxiliary agent in pesticides, coatings, and polymerization reactions. Due to its strong acidity, it is also used in metal cleaning and industrial equipment rust removal.
