  • Applications

    Ammonium xylenesulfonate (CAS 26447-10-9) is an anionic surfactant commonly used as a dispersant, wetting agent, and detergent component in industrial formulations. In paints, coatings, and inks, it serves as a pigment dispersant and flow modifier. In polymer and plastics manufacturing, it acts as a processing aid and emulsifier for dispersion of fillers and stabilization of emulsions. In textile processing and dyeing, it is used as a surfactant to improve bath performance and dye uptake.
