Heloxyl CS40
Wat is Heloxyl CS40?
Heloxyl CS40 is a hydrotrope with the INCI name Sodium Cumenesulfonate. The product is used to improve the solubility and stability of cleaning formulations, particularly in systems with high concentrations of surfactants or active ingredients.
Sodium Cumenesulfonate is widely used in:
- All-purpose cleaners
- Industrial cleaning products
- Liquid detergents
- Degreasers
- Technical cleaning systems
Heloxyl CS40 does not function as a primary cleaning surfactant but as a supporting additive that helps keep formulations clear, homogeneous, and stable.
Due to its hydrotropic action, the product can help with:
- Improved solubility
- Stabilization of surfactant systems
- Prevention of phase separation
- Reduction of turbidity in formulations

Technical
How is Sodium Cumenesulfonate produced?
Heloxyl CS40 is produced through the sulfonation of cumene derivatives followed by neutralization to the sodium salt. This results in Sodium Cumenesulfonate, a water-soluble hydrotrope that is widely used in cleaning systems.
The production process generally includes:
- Selection of aromatic raw materials
- Sulfonation of the molecular structure
- Neutralization to the sodium salt
- Dilution and standardization
This chemical structure results in a product with:
- Good water solubility
- Stability in alkaline systems
- Compatibility with anionic and non-ionic surfactants
- Good processing characteristics in liquid formulations
How does Heloxyl CS40 work in a formulation?
Heloxyl CS40 functions as a hydrotrope and stabilizer within water-based cleaning systems.
Improved solubility
Sodium Cumenesulfonate helps keep poorly soluble components dissolved more effectively.
The effect:
- Improved clarity
- Reduced turbidity
- Better formulation stability
For example: in a concentrated all-purpose cleaner, Heloxyl CS40 helps keep surfactants stably dissolved without phase separation.
Stabilization of surfactant systems
Heloxyl CS40 supports complex mixtures of surfactants and active ingredients.
As a result:
- The formulation remains homogeneous
- Precipitation is reduced
- Storage stability is improved
For example: in an industrial degreaser, Sodium Cumenesulfonate helps maintain the stability of high concentrations of cleaning components.
Processing of concentrated formulations
Hydrotropes such as Heloxyl CS40 are often used in highly concentrated cleaning products where solubility is a challenge.
For example: in a liquid detergent, the product helps process high surfactant concentrations without crystallization or turbidity.
Compatibility with other components
Heloxyl CS40 is often combined with:
- Anionic surfactants
- Non-ionic surfactants
- Alkaline cleaning components
- Solvents
This makes it widely applicable in a variety of cleaning formulations.
In which industries is Heloxyl CS40 used?
Heloxyl CS40 is primarily used as a supporting additive in complex liquid cleaning systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Heloxyl CS40
1. What are the advantages of Heloxyl CS40?
- Improved solubility
- Formulation stabilization
- Reduction of turbidity
- Good compatibility with surfactants
- Suitable for concentrated systems
In addition, Sodium Cumenesulfonate helps develop stable liquid cleaning products.
2. What is the difference between a hydrotrope and a surfactant?
A surfactant lowers surface tension and actively contributes to cleaning.
A hydrotrope such as Heloxyl CS40 primarily improves the solubility and stability of other components within the formulation.
The product therefore supports the system but is usually not the primary cleaning ingredient.
3. When is Heloxyl CS40 used in a formulation?
Heloxyl CS40 is used when:
- Formulations become cloudy
- Surfactants have poor solubility
- High concentrations of active ingredients are present
- Additional storage stability is desired
4. Is Heloxyl CS40 suitable for cosmetic applications?
Sodium Cumenesulfonate has an INCI name and can be used in certain cosmetic cleansing products. However, the product is primarily used in technical and household cleaning systems.
