Sodium Xylene Sulphonate (SXS-40%)
CAS Number: 1300-72-7
Description
Sodium Xylene Sulphonate (SXS-40%) is a versatile hydrotrope designed to improve solubility, clarity, and stability in liquid detergent and cleaning formulations. With 40% active content, it efficiently solubilizes surfactants, fragrances, and other actives—preventing cloudiness or phase separation even in high-concentration systems.
SXS-40% is widely used in household detergents, industrial cleaners, and personal care formulations due to its excellent compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Its consistent performance and eco-friendly profile make it an essential additive for achieving clear, stable, and effective formulations across multiple industries.
