Heloxyl AL 80 (sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate)
What is Heloxyl AL 80?
Heloxyl AL 80 is an anionic surfactant based on sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate. The chemical description of the product is Benzenesulfonic acid, C10-13-alkyl derivatives, sodium salts.
The product is the sodium salt of sulfonic acid and is supplied as a solid with a minimum of 80% active ingredients. Thanks to its strong cleaning properties and good foaming performance, Heloxyl AL 80 is widely used in industrial cleaning systems and detergent formulations.
The product is widely used in:
-
Industrial cleaners
-
Degreasers
-
Powder detergents
-
Technical cleaning agents
-
Workshop cleaners
-
Water-based cleaning systems
Due to its powerful detergency, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate is one of the most widely used anionic surfactants in industrial and household cleaning formulations.

Technical
How is sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate produced?
Heloxyl AL 80 is produced by sulfonating alkylbenzene, followed by neutralization with sodium compounds. This results in the sodium salt of alkylbenzenesulfonic acid.
The production process typically includes:
-
Production of linear alkylbenzene
-
Sulfonation of the aromatic structure
-
Neutralization to form the sodium salt
-
Drying and standardization of the final product
This chemical conversion results in a surfactant with:
-
Strong cleaning power
-
Good foaming properties
-
High detergency
-
Good compatibility with other cleaning components
The solid form with a minimum of 80% active substance makes Heloxyl AL 80 suitable for concentrated cleaning systems and powder formulations.
How does Heloxyl AL 80 work in a formulation?
Heloxyl AL 80 functions as a powerful anionic cleaning surfactant in industrial and household cleaning systems.
Removal of grease and dirt
Sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate reduces the surface tension between water and contaminants, allowing grease and dirt particles to be effectively loosened.
The effect:
-
Rapid wetting
-
Strong degreasing
-
Efficient dirt removal
In an industrial degreaser, Heloxyl AL 80 helps remove oily contaminants from machinery and metal parts.
Foam formation
Heloxyl AL 80 generates rich foam and supports stable foam formation during cleaning.
The effect:
-
Rapid foam formation
-
Good foam stability
-
Improved cleaning experience
In a manual cleaning system, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate helps maintain long-lasting foam formation during use.
Application in powder detergents
Due to its solid form and high active content, Heloxyl AL 80 is suitable for powder cleaners and concentrated detergent formulations.
In an industrial cleaning powder, the product contributes to effective dirt removal and good dispersibility in water.
Compatibility with other cleaning components
Heloxyl AL 80 is often combined with:
-
Non-ionic surfactants
-
Builders
-
Hydrotropes
-
Alkaline components
This allows the product to be widely used in various cleaning formulations.
