RECODAS 185 is a surfactant designed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and is predominantly composed of dialkylbenzene sodium sulfonates. It is formulated to achieve ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) when used in the alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) and surfactant polymer (SP) methods. It is typically used alongside co-surfactants or co-solvents in EOR formulations.
