Sodium C13-17 alkane sulfonate

Sodium C13-17 alkane sulfonate (CAS 93763-92-9) is an anionic surfactant derived from mid-chain paraffin sulfonation, producing a blend of sodium salts across the C13–C17 carbon range.

Where is Sodium C13-17 alkane sulfonate used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning: primary surfactant in heavy-duty liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners and degreasing concentrates for high soil removal
• Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent that improves fiber penetration and removes oils or sizing agents before dyeing
• Coatings and adhesives: emulsification and pigment dispersion, stabilising aqueous systems during manufacture
• Leather processing: degreasing during the beamhouse stage to prepare hides for subsequent treatment
• It lowers surface tension in textile manufacturing workflows.

Commercial specifications

• Active content commonly 30% to 60%
• Drum and IBC packaging; bulk tanker at larger volumes
• Store in a cool, dry environment
