Overview of AOS Sodium Alpha-olefin Sulfonate  

AOS Sodium Alpha olefin Sulfonate is a surfactant composed of α– Olefins produced by sulfonation reaction with sulfuric acid or oleic acid and then neutralized with sodium hydroxide. It belongs to anionic surfactants and has good wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, and washing properties. Due to the equilibrium between hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in its molecular structure, AOS Sodium Alpha olefin Sulfonate can form a stable interface between water and oil, effectively reducing surface tension. This characteristic makes it widely used in cleaning products, detergents, coatings, inks, and other fields. In addition, AOS Sodium Alpha olefin Sulfonate also has good biodegradability and is relatively environmentally friendly.
