Product Description

Sodium alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) is an anionic surfactant widely used in detergent, cleaning, personal care, and chemical research applications. It is commonly represented by the sodium C14–16 olefin sulfonate composition and is valued for its strong foaming, cleansing, wetting, and emulsifying properties.

In addition, Sodium Alpha-Olefin Sulfonate offers good detergency and hard-water tolerance, making it useful in formulations where effective cleaning and stable foam are required. Researchers and manufacturers also study AOS in surfactant formulations, environmental applications, and industrial cleaning systems.
