Sodium cumenesulfonate

Sodium cumenesulfonate (CAS 32073-22-6), also known as sodium p-cumenesulphonate, is a hydrotrope used across detergent, personal care, and industrial cleaning formulations.

It increases the solubility of other surfactants and active ingredients in aqueous systems, allowing formulators to achieve higher active concentrations without phase separation.

In liquid detergent manufacturing, it enables high-surfactant-load formulations to remain stable and pourable at elevated concentrations. This ensures product consistency during storage.

Personal care producers incorporate it into shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps to improve clarity and reduce viscosity at high surfactant levels for better performance.

In textile and leather processing, it supports the dispersion of dyes, finishing agents, and cleaning auxiliaries in aqueous baths. This improves the efficiency of the treatment.

Agricultural formulations use it as a carrier and dispersant to improve the solubility and stability of active ingredients in liquid crop protection products for better field results.

Sodium cumenesulfonate is supplied as an aqueous solution, typically at 40% or 45% active content, and in dry powder or granule form for applications requiring low moisture content.

Standard grades include technical and industrial-grade material. Food-contact and cosmetic-grade material is available where formulation compliance requires tighter purity specifications.
