Sodium ethanesulfonate

Sodium ethanesulfonate (CAS 5324-47-0) is an aliphatic sulfonate salt used industrially as a wetting agent and dispersant.

Where is Sodium ethanesulfonate used?

• Textile processing: improves dye bath penetration and fiber wetting for uniform coloration on synthetic and natural substrates
• Leather finishing: aids dispersion of treatment agents for surface coverage during tanning and coating
• Paper manufacturing: supports sizing formulations and surface treatment where controlled wetting is critical to sheet quality
• Plastics and polymer processing: dispersant in compounding and coating formulations where uniform additive distribution is required
• Its sulfonate group provides strong surface activity, supporting emulsification and surface modification.
