Hydrotrope for Industrial Formulations: Sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS, CAS#1300-72-7) is a hydrotrope used to support ingredient solubility and compatibility in aqueous formulations. Common applications include liquid detergents, industrial cleaners, and suitable grades of personal care and agrochemical formulations.

Liquid Detergents and Cleaners: SXS is widely used in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing products, hard-surface cleaners, and industrial cleaning formulations. It supports ingredient incorporation and formulation uniformity, particularly in concentrated products.

Formulation and Viscosity Control: SXS can assist in adjusting viscosity and improving processing and handling. Its effects depend on the surfactant system, electrolyte content, temperature, and dosage, so formulation testing is essential.

Personal Care and Agrochemical Formulations: Suitable grades may be used as coupling or solubilizing agents in personal care products and pesticide formulations. Compatibility, ingredient acceptance, and regulatory requirements must be confirmed for the intended application and market.

Purchasing Specifications: Key parameters include active matter content, physical form, pH, color, inorganic salt content, and water content. Buyers should specify the required concentration, impurity limits, packaging, and application before ordering.

Handling and Storage: Avoid eye contact and inhalation of dust or mist. Follow the supplier’s SDS for protective measures and storage conditions. Keep containers tightly closed and protect the product from contamination; confirm grade-specific temperature requirements for liquid products.
