Kemsurf SX85

Kemsurf SX85 is a high‑active anionic surfactant based on sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, supplied as an 85% active material. It provides excellent detergency, wetting power, and emulsification across a wide variety of aqueous and solvent‑based systems. Due to its strong surface‑active properties, Kemsurf SX85 is highly effective in removing
oily, particulate, and hydrophobic soils.

The product exhibits rapid foaming and good foam stability, making it suitable for both low‑ and high‑foaming formulations depending on use level and co‑surfactants selected. Kemsurf SX85 also offers good electrolyte tolerance and performs well in acidic, neutral, and alkaline environments.

Its versatility and robust cleaning efficiency make it widely used in detergents, industrial cleaners, emulsifiable concentrates, agrochemical formulations, and general-purpose surfactant systems requiring strong anionic character.

Applications

 

Kemsurf SX85 is used across a wide variety of industries due to its strong anionic surface‑active properties. Typical application areas include:

Wettable Powders in Agrochemicals
- Acts as a wetting and dispersing agent to ensure uniform distribution of active ingredients.

Household Detergents
- Provides excellent detergency and foaming for general cleaning formulations.

Industrial and Institutional (I&I) Detergents
- Effective for heavy‑duty cleaning, degreasing, and hard‑surface applications.

Emulsion Polymerisation
- Functions as a primary emulsifier for stable latex production.

Plasticiser in Mortar
- Improves workability and flow characteristics in construction materials.

Ore Flotation
- Enhances separation efficiency in mineral processing operations.

Air Entrainment in Concrete and Gypsum Board
- Helps introduce controlled air content for improved strength and performance.
