Kemsurf SBE acid

CAS Number
85536-14-7
EC Number
287-494-3
Chemical Name
Benzenesulfonic acid 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.

Kemsurf SBE acid is a high active dodecyl benzene sulphonic acid manufactured by SO3 sulphonation. This particular acid is manufactured from a narrow cut straighter chain grade detergent alkylate. As a result of using this grade of alkylate the product is classified as readily biodegradable. Kemsurf SBE acid is an ideal raw material for the production of detergents that can be used in a number of application areas such as liquid dish washing and cleaning solution for both industrial and domestic use. Also the neutralized products offer excellent emulsification properties depending upon the salt produced.

Applications

Kemsurf SBE acid is an ideal raw material for the production of detergents that can be used in a number of application areas such as liquid dish washing and cleaning solution for both industrial and domestic use. Also the neutralized products offer excellent emulsification properties depending upon the salt produced.. Kemsurf SBE acid is recommended as an intermediate for neutralization with a number of bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia and triethanolamine. The following table gives the approximate amount of base to neutralize 100 parts by weight of Kemsurf SBE acid.
