Ammonium xylenesulfonate

Ammonium xylenesulfonate (CAS 26447-10-9), also known as ammonium xylenesulphonate, is a hydrotrope used across personal care, agricultural, and industrial formulations. It improves the solubility and stability of active ingredients in aqueous systems.

This chemical allows formulators to build higher-concentration liquid products without phase separation. In personal care, it functions as a hydrotrope in shampoos, liquid soaps, and body washes to increase surfactant loading.

By maintaining clarity and flow, it ensures high-quality consumer products. Agricultural chemical manufacturers use it to improve the solubility and dispersibility of active ingredients in liquid concentrate formulations for better field performance.

Textile and leather processing operations rely on it to enhance the penetration and uniformity of dye baths and treatment liquors. It also supports foam control and emulsification in industrial cleaning compounds where stabilization is required.

Concentrated surfactant blends benefit significantly from its inclusion. Ammonium xylenesulfonate is supplied as an aqueous solution, typically at 40–45% active content, ensuring ease of handling during the manufacturing process.

Technical grade is the standard offering for industrial and agricultural applications. Personal care grades meeting relevant purity specifications are available for cosmetic formulations to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards.

Packaging options commonly include drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) suited to industrial procurement volumes. These formats provide efficient logistics and storage solutions for large-scale chemical manufacturing facilities.
