Sodium alpha-olefin Sulfonate AOS CAS No.: 68439-57-6 Alpha 0lefin Sulfonate

Sodium alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) is an anionic surfactant produced by the gas-phase film sulfonation of alpha-olefins with sulfur trioxide, followed by continuous neutralization. AOS exhibits excellent emulsifying, detergency, and lime-soap-dispersing power, good solubility and compatibility, fine and abundant foam, ready biodegradability, low toxicity, and low skin irritation. In phosphate-free detergents, it not only maintains strong washing performance but also shows outstanding compatibility with enzymes. Its powdered grade has excellent flowability. Consequently, AOS is widely used in phosphate-free laundry powders, liquid detergents, and other household cleaning products, as well as in textile printing and dyeing, oil-field chemicals, and industrial hard-surface cleaning.
