Description
Sodium C14–16 Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS-40 Liquid) is a high-performance, biodegradable anionic surfactant widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and household cleansing formulations. Produced through the controlled sulfonation of alpha olefins, AOS-40 delivers exceptional flash foaming, superior cleansing efficiency, and excellent wetting properties across various formulation types.
This highly versatile liquid surfactant serves as an effective, mild alternative to traditional sulfates like SLS and SLES. It exhibits high solubility in cold water, strong stability across a wide pH range, and impressive compatibility with hard water. Whether formulating rich shampoos, body washes, or facial cleansers, AOS-40 provides excellent viscosity response when blended with amphoteric and nonionic surfactants.
