Request SDS →Sodium alkylarylpolyether sulfonate (CAS 9010-41-7) is an anionic organic surface-active agent carrying a sulfonate head group on an alkylaryl polyether backbone. As an anionic surfactant it functions as a wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing agent in industrial and institutional cleaning and processing formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium alkylarylpolyether sulfonate used for?
Sodium alkylarylpolyether sulfonate (CAS 9010-41-7) is an anionic surfactant used as a wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing agent in industrial and institutional cleaning and processing formulations. It reduces surface tension for improved wetting in formulated cleaners.
What is an alkylaryl sulfonate surfactant?
It is an anionic surface-active agent carrying a sulfonate (-SO3-) head group on an alkylaryl polyether backbone, supplied as the sodium salt. The hydrophobic alkylaryl/polyether tail and the anionic sulfonate head give it wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing activity.
Is sodium alkylarylpolyether sulfonate an acid?
No. It is the sodium salt (anionic surfactant) form, not the free acid; it functions as a surface-active agent rather than as an acid. Identity and active content are confirmed on the product CoA at CAS 9010-41-7.
Is sodium alkylarylpolyether sulfonate water soluble?
As an anionic sulfonate sodium salt it is water-soluble/dispersible, which supports its use as a wetting and dispersing aid in aqueous cleaning and processing systems. Confirm the supplied active concentration and dilution guidance on the technical data.
How is this surfactant supplied and quoted in bulk?
It is supplied as an anionic surfactant under HS 3402.39 in bulk packaging such as drums and totes. Pricing is volume- and market-dependent; request a quote with your target quantity and active concentration. A CoA and SDS accompany each shipment.
