Sodium Toluene Sulphonate STS
Sodium Toluene Sulphonate STS as a white powder with a purity of 70 and 90% and is completely soluble in water. It considered a part of the hydrotropes category. Hydrotropes are added to the formulation in liquids to ensure the stability of the final product during storage and ensure solubility. It is using for ensuring the stability of the final product during storage and ensuring solubility in liquids. Also use to reduce the cloud point of the liquid Preventing two phases of the liquid.
Surfactants
Molecules include two parts: hydrophobic (hydrophobic, insoluble in water) and hydrophilic (hydrophilic, soluble in water). These molecules have a very high activity in the interface between air and water or oil and water. These substances have many names such as substances Surface actives are detergents or simply active. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water and lead to increased wetting of surfaces. Surfactants are responsible for loosening and separating the pus during washing, as well as suspending the pus in the washing solution. The four main categories of surfactants are:
Anionic surfactants
When the polar group that is connected to the hydrophobic part of the surfactant through a covalent bond has a negative charge (R-CO2-, R-SO4-, R-SO3-), it is called anionic surfactant. Such as Texapon, soaps, alkyl benzene sulfonates, and phenyl alcohol sulfates.
Cationic surfactants
When the polar group that is connected to the hydrophobic part of the surfactant through a covalent bond has a positive charge (N+R1R2R3R4), it is called a cationic surfactant. such as dimethyl distearyl ammonium chloride. Cationic surfactants are often used as fabric softeners and antistatic agents.
Nonionic surfactants
Nonionic surfactants have a polar group that cannot be ionized in aqueous solution. The hydrophobic part includes fatty chains and the hydrophilic part includes non-ionizable atoms of oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. Solubility is the result of the formation of hydrogen bonds between water and hydrophilic groups such as polyoxyethylene ether groups. Many derivatives of polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene and alkanol amides and ethoxylated alkyl amines are included in this classification.
Amphoteric surfactants
They are molecules that form bipolar ions. At low pH, they act like cationics and at high pH, they act like anionics. At medium pH, they have two positive and negative charges, that is, they have a bipolar ion structure. In this class, coco amido propyl betaine is the most used.
