Product Description
Sodium Alpha-Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is a versatile surfactant widely used in various industries. It is available in both liquid and powder forms, offering high active content and excellent performance. As an anionic surfactant, AOS is a key ingredient in detergents, personal care products, and industrial cleaning applications, and it is known for its strong foaming ability, effective cleaning power, and mildness.
AOS is valued for its ability to provide excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it an ideal choice for formulations requiring stable foams and superior dirt removal. It is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners.
Liquid AOS typically has an active content of ≥ 30%, while the powder form generally has an active content of ≥ 92%. Both forms deliver exceptional performance in both hard and soft water, offering stable foam and excellent cleaning efficacy.
Produced through the sulfonation of α-olefins, AOS is a safe and biodegradable material, making it suitable for use in a wide range of personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning products.
