APPLICATIONS

Isethionic acid, short chain alkane sulfonate containing hydroxy group, is a water soluble, strongly acidic liquid used in the manufacture of mild, biodegradable and high foaming anionic surfactants which provides gentle cleansing and soft skin feel. Isethionic acid is the trivial name for 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid which is the parent compound of sodium isethionate. Sodium isethionate is prepared by the reaction of ethylene oxide with sodium bisulfite solution. It is used as a key raw material in the manufacturing of Igepon type surfactants which are ethanesulfonated detergent bars. Igepon type surfactants include:
