Sodium Cumene Sulfonate
Sodium Cumene Sulfonate (CAS: 28348-53-0) is a hydrotrope surfactant featuring a cumyl hydrophobe and a sulfonate head group, designed to solubilize hydrophobic organic compounds in aqueous systems. Unlike conventional surfactants, it operates at high concentrations to increase the water solubility of poorly soluble ingredients without forming micelles, making it invaluable in concentrated cleaning formulations. It is widely used in liquid detergents, hard-surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers to maintain clear, homogeneous solutions of surfactant blends and fragrances. The compound also serves as a coupling agent in dye baths and textile processing, improving dye solubility and levelness. Its excellent electrolyte tolerance, low foam generation, and biodegradability make sodium cumene sulfonate a formulation essential for high-active, stable cleaning products across household and industrial markets.
– Hydrotrope Function: Used to solubilize hydrophobic surfactants, fragrances, and additives in concentrated liquid detergent formulations maintaining clarity and stability.
– Hard-Surface Cleaners: Serves as a coupling agent in all-purpose and degreasing cleaners preventing phase separation at high active matter.
– Textile Processing: Applied in dye baths improving dye solubility, leveling, and color uniformity on fibers.
– Industrial Formulations: Incorporated into alkaline and electrolyte-rich cleaning systems where conventional solubilizers fail.
