CAS 13893-34-0: sodium 1-octadecanesulfonate
Description:Sodium 1-octadecanesulfonate, with the CAS number 13893-34-0, is a long-chain alkyl sulfonate salt derived from octadecanesulfonic acid. It is characterized by its hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which consists of 18 carbon atoms, and a hydrophilic sulfonate group, making it an effective surfactant. This amphiphilic nature allows it to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions, making it useful in various applications, including detergents, personal care products, and industrial formulations. Sodium 1-octadecanesulfonate is typically a white to off-white powder or solid, soluble in water, and exhibits good thermal stability. Its surfactant properties enable it to function as a wetting agent, dispersant, and foaming agent. Additionally, it is considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in formulations intended for skin contact. Overall, sodium 1-octadecanesulfonate is valued for its effectiveness in enhancing the performance of products across multiple industries.
