SODIUM CUMENESULFONATE

Sodium cumene sulfonate is manufactured through a two-step process: the sulfonation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) using an agent like sulfur trioxide or sulfuric acid, followed by the neutralization of the resulting cumene sulfonic acid with sodium hydroxide

Sodium cumene sulfonate is an anionic surfactant and hydrotrope used as a coupling agent, solubilizer, and cloud point depressant in a wide variety of cleaning products and industrial applications. It enhances the performance of detergents, cleaners, and other formulations by improving the solubility and compatibility of various ingredients, helping to break down grease, dirt, and oil.
