Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate (CAS: 68439-57-6) is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from sulfonated C14-16 alpha-olefins, offering excellent foaming, detergency, and hard-water tolerance. This pale aqueous solution or paste produces dense, stable foam with strong grease-cutting power, making it a preferred surfactant in premium shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers where rich lather and mildness are required. Its outstanding performance in hard water and compatibility with other surfactants support its use in liquid hand soaps, bubble baths, and pet shampoos. Industrial applications include emulsion polymerization, textile scouring, and vehicle wash formulations. The compound biodegrades readily and shows low skin irritation potential at typical use concentrations. With its balanced performance profile, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is a workhorse surfactant for personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
– Personal Care Cleansing: Used as a primary surfactant in shampoos, shower gels, and facial washes delivering rich, stable foam and thorough yet gentle cleansing.
– Hard-Water Performance: Excels in high-mineral water conditions maintaining lather and detergency where other surfactants underperform.
– Household Cleaners: Serves in dishwashing liquids, hand soaps, and all-purpose cleaners for strong grease removal and lasting suds.
– Industrial Applications: Applied in textile processing, emulsion polymerization, and vehicle wash products requiring robust wetting and foaming.
