Sodium alpha olefin sulfonate / AOS

Alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) is a third generation anionic surfactant. It is biodegradable, mild and resistant to hard water, while having high detergency and excellent compatibility with other types of surfactants. AOS is widely used for the formulation of heavy-duty, high-foaming detergents as a secondary surfactant together with linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) or for the formulation of mild detergents and personal care products such as hand wash, shampoo, baby bubble bath, etc.
