Results for tag: "Secondary Alkane Sulfonate"

Secondary Alkane Sulfonates (SAS) are a class of surfactants used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. They are derived from the sulfonation of secondary alkanes, which are hydrocarbons with two or more carbon atoms. SAS are used in a variety of industries, including detergents, agrochemicals, oilfield chemicals, and personal care products. They are valued for their low toxicity, biodegradability, and low cost. SAS are used in detergents to reduce surface tension and improve cleaning performance. They are also used in agrochemicals to improve the solubility of active ingredients and reduce the risk of crop damage. In oilfield chemicals, SAS are used to reduce the surface tension of water-based drilling fluids, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the formation. In personal care products, SAS are used as emulsifiers, foaming agents, and viscosity modifiers. Some companies in the Secondary Alkane Sulfonate market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Clariant, AkzoNobel, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
