Sodium Alpha-Olefin Sulfonate

Sodium Alpha-Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is an excellent anionic surfactant widely used in various fields due to its high foaming capacity, good hydrolytic stability, hardness resistance, and environmental friendliness:

I. Daily Chemical and Detergent Applications

1. Detergent Formulations
   • Used as a primary active ingredient in phosphate-free laundry powders and heavy-duty liquid detergents, providing strong detergency and emulsifying power with good compatibility with enzymes.
   • Performs exceptionally well in liquid detergents, especially in formulations with high active ingredients.

1. Personal Care Products
   • Applied in hand soaps, shower gels, facial cleansers, etc., offering low irritation and a mild skin feel.

II. Industrial and Special Applications

1. Construction Materials and Firefighting
   • Used as a concrete density modifier and additive for foamed wall panels to enhance material performance.
   • Employed in firefighting foam agents for efficient foaming and stability.
2. Oilfield and Cleaning
   • Used as an emulsifier or wetting agent in enhanced oil recovery, industrial cleaning, and petroleum chemicals.
3. Textile Printing and Dyeing
   • Applied as an auxiliary agent in textile printing and dyeing processes to improve treatment effectiveness.

III. Other Fields

• Pesticide Emulsifier: Enhances the stability of pesticide formulations.
• Environmental Characteristics: Exhibits good biodegradability, aligning with green chemistry trends.

Its comprehensive performance makes it an important alternative to traditional surfactants, particularly in detergent and industrial applications with stringent environmental requirements.
