What is Sodium cumenesulfonate?
Sodium cumenesulfonate (CAS 32073-22-6), also known as sodium p-cumenesulphonate, is a hydrotrope used in detergent, personal care, and industrial cleaning formulations.
Where is Sodium cumenesulfonate used?
- Liquid detergents: enables high-surfactant-load formulations to remain stable and pourable
- Personal care: improves clarity and reduces viscosity in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps
- Textile and leather processing: disperses dyes, finishing agents, and cleaning auxiliaries in aqueous baths
- Agricultural formulations: carrier and dispersant for active ingredients in liquid crop protection products
- It increases the solubility of other surfactants and active ingredients in aqueous systems.
Commercial specifications
- Aqueous solution at 40% or 45% active content
- Dry powder or granule form for low moisture content
- Food-contact and cosmetic grades with tighter purity specifications
