Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate
Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate is an anionic surfactant composed of a dodecyl (C12) alkyl chain attached to a benzene sulfonate group, neutralized with sodium. It typically appears as a white to off-white powder or granules with good solubility in water, forming clear to slightly turbid solutions. It has excellent surface-active properties, producing stable foams and reducing surface tension. Industrially, it is widely used in detergents, cleaners, emulsifiers, textile processing, and in formulations for metalworking fluids and pesticides. It is valued for its strong cleaning power, emulsification ability, and compatibility with other surfactants.
