Alpha Olefin Sulfonates

About Alpha Olefin Sulfonates

There are a wide range of applications for linear alpha olefins. Linear alpha olefins are a range of industrially important alpha-olefins,including 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene and higher blends of C20-C24, C24-C30, and C20-C30 ranges.

Alpha olefin sulfonates are used in various detergents, such as laundry detergents, household cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and other cleaning products. They are also used in the production of shampoos, body washes, soaps, and other personal care products. Alpha olefin sulfonates are produced from linear alpha olefins and sulfuric acid. The linear alpha olefin is reacted with sulfuric acid to produce a sulfonated product. The sulfonated product is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide to produce the alpha olefin sulfonate.

Alpha olefin sulfonates have superior detergency, wetting, and solubility properties compared to other surfactants. They are low foaming and they are also biodegradable. They are also very stable in hard water and have excellent resistance to hard water scale formation. Alpha olefin sulfonates are used in both liquid and powder detergents as well as in many other cleaning products. They are also used in the production of shampoos, body washes, soaps, and other personal care products.
