Kemsurf SBE30

Kemsurf SBE30 is an anionic surfactant based on sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, supplied as a 30% active aqueous solution. It provides excellent detergency, wetting, and emulsification, making it a highly versatile ingredient for a wide range of cleaning and industrial formulations.

Kemsurf SBE30 exhibits rapid foam generation, good foam stability, and strong surface‑active performance, enabling effective removal of oily, particulate, and hydrophobic soils. Its liquid form allows for easy handling, pumping, and incorporation into both neutral and alkaline systems.

The product demonstrates good stability in the presence of builders, electrolytes, and hard water, and is widely used in household cleaners, industrial and institutional detergents, and other applications requiring reliable anionic surfactant performance.

​

Key Features

 

• Strong detergency and emulsification, making it effective in cleaning and polymerisation applications.

• High stability and compatibility, performing well with other anionic/nonionic surfactants across alkaline, mildly acidic, and hard/soft water conditions.

• Good wetting and foaming performance, supporting uses in household cleaners, industrial cleaning, and textiles.
