FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is Sodium Secondary Alkyl Sulfonate CAS 97489-15-1?
A: It is an anionic surfactant mixture made from C14-17 secondary alkanesulfonic acids as sodium salts. It is also known as secondary alkane sulfonate, sodium paraffin sulfonate or by the INCI name Sodium C14-17 Sec-Alkyl Sulfonate, and is not a single fixed molecule. -
Q:
What commercial forms and active-matter levels are available?
A: SAS is commonly supplied as aqueous solutions such as 30% or 60% active matter, and as high-active paste or granule forms around 90% or more. Form, active-matter basis and chain distribution should be stated because they change appearance, pumpability and dosing. -
Q:
Why choose SAS over a conventional primary alkyl sulfonate?
A: The sulfonate group is distributed mainly on secondary carbon atoms of the C14-17 chain, which gives useful hard-water tolerance and stability in alkaline, high-temperature cleaning systems. It is commonly used where strong detergency, penetration and low residue are required. -
Q:
What are the main applications of SAS?
A: Typical uses include laundry and dishwashing detergents, hard-surface cleaners, textile pretreatment and scouring, metal degreasing and cleaning, leather processing, and paper deinking or emulsification. The grade and foam profile should be selected for the specific formulation. -
Q:
What should be confirmed before ordering SAS?
A: Confirm CAS 97489-15-1, active-matter content, C-chain range, physical form, pH at a stated dilution, water and salt content, and packaging. For bulk or paste grades, also confirm viscosity, temperature range and unloading requirements.
