Potassium cumene sulfonate

Potassium cumene sulfonate (CAS 28085-69-0) is an aromatic sulfonate salt used primarily as a hydrotrope in aqueous formulations.

Where is Potassium cumene sulfonate used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning: high-concentration liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, degreasers without phase separation
• Textile processing: compatibility of dye auxiliaries and finishing agents, bath stability and process consistency
• Industrial and institutional cleaning concentrates: viscosity modifier for target rheology profiles without thickeners that reduce clarity
• Coatings and adhesive systems with water-based carrier fluids keep active components in stable solution.

Good to know: It improves the solubility of surfactants and other poorly water-soluble ingredients, enabling stable, high-active liquid concentrates that would otherwise separate or cloud.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, 45% active concentration most common commercial form
• Dry powder and granule forms for applications where water content must be minimized or shipping weight is a constraint
• Technical grade; specifications cover active content and pH
• Sodium chloride levels monitored as relevant to formulation performance
