ALKYL ARYL SULFONICS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Alkyl aryl sulfonics, also known as alkylbenzene sulfonates, are a group of surfactants that combine an alkyl group, an aryl group, and a sulfonic acid group. They are commonly used in detergents, wetting agents, and emulsifiers due to their ability to break down oils and grease. These compounds are effective in both hard and soft water, making them versatile for various cleaning applications. Alkyl aryl sulfonics can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact, so proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
