CAS 15015-81-3: Sodium hexadecylsulfonate
Description:Sodium hexadecylsulfonate, with the CAS number 15015-81-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of alkyl sulfonates. It is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, particularly in surfactant formulations. This compound features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain (hexadecyl) and a hydrophilic sulfonate group, which contributes to its surfactant properties. Sodium hexadecylsulfonate is known for its ability to reduce surface tension, making it effective in emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing agents in both industrial and laboratory settings. It is often utilized in formulations for detergents, personal care products, and as a stabilizer in colloidal systems. Additionally, it exhibits good thermal stability and can function effectively across a range of pH levels. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered low in toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to minimize exposure.
