Synsul™ AOS

Alpha Olefin Sulfonate Synsul™ AOS is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonates with a molecular weight of approximately 325. This non-ionic surfactant is highly effective as the foaming agent in many different personal care applications as well as fracturing fluids for subterranean formations. It also has utility as a foaming agent in enhanced oil recovery and is an efficient component for the clean-up of gas producing wells. Synsul™ AOS exhibits excellent heat stability and is compatible with a wide variety of other additives. It is especially suited for use in freshwater systems and is readily biodegradable.
