Disodium methylenebisnaphthalenesulfonate
What is Disodium methylenebisnaphthalenesulfonate?
Disodium methylenebisnaphthalenesulfonate (CAS 26545-58-4), also known as sodium methylenebis(naphthalenesulfonate), is an anionic dispersant for industrial formulations that stabilise suspensions.
Where is Disodium methylenebisnaphthalenesulfonate used?
- Textile dyeing and finishing: disperses dye particles evenly across fibre substrates, preventing agglomeration and uneven coloration
- Concrete admixtures: plasticizer component improving workability and reducing water demand in cement slurries without compromising set strength
- Agricultural formulations: in suspension concentrates and wettable powder pesticides, it stabilises dispersion of active ingredients during dilution and field application
- Pulp and paper: improves distribution of sizing agents and pigments across fibre matrices for consistent sheet formation and coating quality
- It acts as a dispersing and wetting agent where uniform distribution of solids is critical.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm active content, sodium sulfate levels, and compatibility with specific formulation pH ranges.
Commercial specifications
- Active content typically 85–95% for powder grades
