General Description

Octadecylbenzenesulphonic acid is a long-chain alkylbenzene sulfonic acid with the chemical formula C18H29SO3H. It is commonly used as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in various industrial and household products, including laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaners. octadecylbenzenesulphonic acid is an amphiphilic molecule, meaning it has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it an effective emulsifying and dispersing agent. It also has the ability to lower the surface tension of liquids, allowing for better wetting and penetration of surfaces. Additionally, octadecylbenzenesulphonic acid is used in the production of oil drilling fluids, agricultural chemicals, and industrial lubricants. However, it is important to handle this chemical with care and follow safety guidelines due to its potential irritant and corrosive properties.
