Sodium C14-17 alkyl sec sulfonate

Sodium C14-17 alkyl sec sulfonate (CAS 97489-15-1), commercially available as Hostapur SAS 30N, is a mid-chain secondary alkanesulfonate surfactant used across industrial and consumer cleaning formulations.

It delivers strong detergency, foam control, and emulsification performance in both hard and soft water conditions, making it a reliable active in high-performance cleaning systems.

In household and industrial cleaning, it functions as the primary surfactant in dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and hard surface cleaners, where it breaks down grease and oily soils effectively.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into shampoos and body washes as a secondary surfactant to boost foam and improve rinse-off. Textile processing operations use it as a wetting and scouring agent.

This chemical helps to remove oils, sizing agents, and contaminants from fiber and fabric prior to dyeing. In leather and paper manufacturing, it supports degreasing and emulsification steps.

It provides consistent surfactant performance under variable pH conditions. Sodium C14-17 alkyl sec sulfonate is supplied primarily as an aqueous solution, with 30% active content being the standard.

Technical grade is the predominant specification for industrial and household cleaning applications. Packaging typically follows industrial standards in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
