For formulators working with anionic surfactants, understanding the specific characteristics and applications of different product forms is essential. Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is a prime example, available in both powder and liquid formats, each offering distinct advantages for various manufacturing processes. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we provide both forms to meet diverse industry needs.

The most common liquid form of AOS typically comes with an active matter content of around 35% to 38%. This liquid variant is highly valued for its ease of handling and incorporation into liquid formulations, such as liquid detergents, shampoos, and body washes. Its lower viscosity and excellent flowability allow for seamless mixing with other ingredients, simplifying the production process. When you buy liquid AOS, you benefit from a ready-to-use solution that can be directly pumped or metered into blending tanks, often without the need for additional dilution.

In contrast, the powder form of AOS, often available at a high concentration of 92% active matter, offers significant advantages in terms of logistics and storage, especially for large-scale manufacturing. The higher active content means less water is being transported and stored, potentially leading to cost savings. Powder AOS is ideal for dry blending operations, commonly used in the production of powder detergents and washing powders. Its excellent fluidity ensures it disperses easily into dry mixes, maintaining the homogeneity of the final product. For manufacturers focused on powder-based products, purchasing 92% solid AOS is a strategic choice.

When deciding whether to purchase powder or liquid AOS, consider your specific production setup and formulation type. Liquid AOS is convenient for automated liquid production lines, while powder AOS is perfect for dry blending facilities. Both forms exhibit the characteristic high foaming, excellent detergency, and mildness that make AOS a preferred surfactant. As a reliable supplier in China, we offer detailed specifications for both our liquid and powder AOS products, including active matter content, solubility, pH, and impurity levels like sodium sulfate and free alkali.

Our commitment as a manufacturer is to provide AOS that meets stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the form chosen. Whether your application demands the convenience of liquid AOS or the high concentration efficiency of powder AOS, we are equipped to supply your needs. We encourage prospective buyers to consult with our technical team to determine the optimal AOS form for their specific product development and manufacturing goals.
