Sodium Cumene Sulphonate (SCS-40%)
CAS Number: 28348-53-0
Description
Sodium Cumene Sulphonate (SCS-40%) is a versatile hydrotrope designed to improve solubility, clarity, and stability in a wide range of liquid formulations. With 40% active matter, it enhances the compatibility of surfactants, dyes, and other active ingredients—preventing precipitation and phase separation in concentrated systems.
SCS-40% is widely used in household and industrial detergents, cleaners, and personal care products for its excellent solubilizing power, low toxicity, and high chemical stability. Its eco-friendly profile and compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants make it a preferred choice for formulators seeking both performance and sustainability.
