The quest for more effective and efficient laundry detergents often leads formulators to explore the synergistic interactions between different chemical components. Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) stands out as a key ingredient that significantly boosts the performance of laundry formulations, particularly when combined with other surfactants and enzymes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. provides high-quality AOS that unlocks these performance enhancements.

Research has consistently shown that AOS exhibits strong synergistic effects with other common anionic surfactants, such as Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS). In both phosphate-containing and phosphate-free washing powders, a combination of LAS and AOS at specific ratios can lead to a remarkable improvement in decontamination power. This synergy is especially pronounced when AOS constitutes a larger proportion of the anionic active ingredients, often exceeding 20% in phosphate-free formulations.

The benefits of AOS in laundry detergents are multifaceted. Compared to LAS, AOS demonstrates superior resistance to hard water, a crucial advantage in regions with high mineral content in their water supply. While LAS excels at removing oily and granular soils, AOS is particularly effective against sebum and powdery dirt. This complementary action means that a blend of surfactants can tackle a wider range of stains more effectively.

Moreover, AOS shows excellent compatibility with enzymes used in detergents, such as proteases. Detergent solutions containing AOS exhibit higher residual enzyme activity over time compared to those with pure LAS. This is vital because enzymes are key to breaking down protein-based stains like blood and grass. The enhanced enzyme stability ensures that detergents maintain their efficacy throughout the wash cycle and even after prolonged storage.

The synergy extends to the washing process itself. While AOS and LAS perform comparably at high temperatures, AOS demonstrates higher decontamination power than LAS when washing at room temperature for shorter durations. This broadens the effective washing range of detergents formulated with AOS.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. supplies premium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate powder, enabling detergent manufacturers to harness these powerful synergistic effects. By integrating AOS into your formulations, you can create laundry detergents that offer superior cleaning, better performance in varied water conditions, and enhanced enzyme efficacy, ultimately providing greater value to consumers.
