| Feature Comparison | Liquid AOS (≥30%) | Powder AOS (≥92%) |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing Speed | Instant / Fast | Requires Dissolution |
| Concentration Control | Moderate | High Precision |
| Transport Cost | Higher (Weight/Volume) | Lower (Concentrated) |
| Primary Application | Liquid Detergents/Shampoo | Powder Detergents/Solid Soap |
| Storage Stability | Standard | Superior / Long-term |
Liquid AOS is easier to incorporate directly into liquid formulations like shampoos. Powder AOS has a much higher active content (≥92%), offering better precision for dry product manufacturing and lower shipping costs due to concentration.
Yes, AOS is known for its mildness and low irritation levels, making it an excellent choice for skin and hair care products such as facial cleansers and body washes.
AOS is highly stable and maintains its cleaning efficacy and foaming ability in both hard and soft water, unlike some other anionic surfactants that may precipitate.
AOS is widely used in the oilfield industry as an emulsifier, in agriculture as a wetting agent for pesticides, and in the textile industry for fabric scouring and dyeing.
Absolutely. AOS is a biodegradable material, ensuring it is safe for aquatic life and compliant with modern environmental standards for chemical manufacturing.
Our factory is ISO9001:2008, REACH, and FAMIQS certified. Additionally, every batch undergoes rigorous SGS inspection before dispatch to ensure total quality compliance.
