Chloro Sulphonic Acid
Chloro Sulphonic Acid is a highly corrosive liquid and an exceptionally powerful sulfonating agent. It is the industry standard for producing anionic surfactants used in high-performance laundry and cleaning detergents.
This fuming acid reacts violently with water, a property utilized in specialized chemical synthesis and dehydration. Its purity is paramount for ensuring the color quality and performance of sulfated alcohols in personal care.
In the textile industry, it is employed as a dyeing auxiliary and in the production of specialty paper coatings. It is a critical intermediate for the synthesis of saccharin and various pharmaceutical sulfa drugs.
Chloro Sulphonic Acid
- Surfactant Synthesis: Direct sulfonation of alkylbenzenes and fatty alcohols for the detergent industry.
- Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent in the production of sulfonamides and artificial sweeteners.
- Ion-Exchange Resins: Used to manufacture sulfonated polystyrene resins for industrial water softening.
Extremely corrosive; causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Highly reactive with moisture; requires full-body chemical suits, face shields, and acid-resistant gloves.
Specialized ISO tanks; 250 kg steel drums; 1000L IBC totes designed for hazardous corrosive transport.
