Potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate

Description:
Potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, with the CAS number 27177-77-1, is an anionic surfactant commonly used in various applications, including detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain, which enhances its ability to reduce surface tension and improve solubility in water. The sulfonate group contributes to its anionic nature, making it effective in forming micelles and stabilizing emulsions. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow solid or powder and is soluble in water, forming a clear solution. Its surfactant properties make it useful in cleaning products, personal care formulations, and industrial applications. Additionally, potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is known for its biodegradability, which is an important characteristic for environmentally friendly formulations. However, like many surfactants, it should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to skin and eyes upon contact. Overall, its effectiveness and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in various chemical formulations.
