Sodium Secondary Alkyl Sulfonate (CAS 97489-15-1), commercially referred to as SAS 60, is a high-performance anionic surfactant produced via the sulfoxidation of n-paraffins, primarily utilized as a core cleaning agent in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners. This Sulfonic acids, C14-17-sec-alkane, sodium salts compound functions as a superior wetting agent and grease emulsifier in Secondary alkane sulfonate formulations, offering outstanding solubility and stability over a wide pH range compared to linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), even in hard water conditions. To support industrial-scale requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure rigorous quality control through customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

Alkali resistance (in terms of NaOH) g/L: 140
Phosphorus pentoxide content: 0.08
Product Features:
1) Strong permeability, consistent with SAS60 in neutral and low alkalinity, and significantly better than SAS60 with the increase of alkalinity
2) Strong degrease, wax removal and cleaning capabilities
3) Superior frost resistance, good dispersion and solubility, quickly dissolved in room temperature water, super convenient to use
4) Extremely high alkali resistance (140g/L). Extremely high resistance to hard water
Applications:
Resistant to low and high alkali penetrants.
Refiners resistant to low and high alkalis.
Heavy oil type degreaser and soap detergent.
A system that improves permeability is needed.
Serves as an efficient emulsifier for PVC and SBR latex production, providing small particle size

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
How does this surfactant compare to LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) in formulation?
A: It offers significantly higher water solubility and stronger grease-cutting power at lower temperatures, making it the preferred choice for concentrated liquid detergents where LAS might precipitate or cause viscosity issues. -
