AOS is widely used in personal care (shampoos, body washes), home care (dishwashing liquid, laundry detergents), oilfield extraction as an emulsifier, agriculture for pesticide spreading, and the textile industry for fabric scouring.
Being fully biodegradable, AOS reduces the environmental footprint of the final product, ensuring compliance with strict ecological regulations and making it safe for aquatic environments.
AOS Powder (≥ 92%) is preferred for powdered detergents as it allows for precise concentration control and is easier to handle in dry bulk manufacturing processes.
Yes, one of the core strengths of AOS is its stable performance in both hard and soft water, maintaining high cleaning efficacy and foam stability without precipitation.
Our production is ISO9001:2008, REACH, and FAMIQS certified. Furthermore, every batch is validated by SGS inspection to guarantee purity and active content levels.
Yes, AOS is valued for its mildness compared to other anionic surfactants, making it suitable for facial cleansers and personal care products that require a gentle touch on the skin.
