Product overview
Sodium Xylene Sulfonate is a hydrotrope used to increase the compatibility of surfactants, solvents and builders in concentrated cleaning and personal-care formulations. Buyers should compare active content, isomer distribution, free alkali, sulfate, color and low-temperature behavior.
Function & Usage
- Emulsify & Solubilize Ingredients
Supports emulsification or solubilization of oil, fragrance or other formulation components according to the selected ingredient. Typical uses: Liquid laundry and dishwashing detergents, Hard-surface cleaners and degreasers, Hydrotropic solubilization and cloud-point control.
- Build Detergency & Remove Soil
Supports wetting, detergency, grease removal, foam or soil suspension in suitable cleaning formulations. Typical uses: Liquid laundry and dishwashing detergents, Hard-surface cleaners and degreasers, Hydrotropic solubilization and cloud-point control.
