Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent permeating, wetting, dispersing, emulsifying abilities. When system contains a small amount of sodium chloride, can be significantly enhanced permeating abilities. Certain resistance to inorganic electrolytes.
Synthesis
Naphthalene, butanol and concentrated sulfuric acid react through the sulfonation condensation reaction, then sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate neutralizes, finally obtain product.

Major Uses
1, Typical applications
Use as penetrating agent, wetting agent.
Use as emulsifying agent, dispersing agent.
2, Textile
Use as penetrating agent, wetting agent.
Widely used, but there are shortcomings that make textiles feel hard and dye bright decreases. Have been gradually replaced by other penetrating agent.
3, Rubber
Use as emulsifying agent, softening agent.
4, Paper
Use as wetting agent.
5, Agriculture
Synergist in pesticides, fertilizer.
