INTRODUCTION
Sodium Decane-1-Sulfonate is a surfactant with a long hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic sulfonate group, used to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions. It is commonly used in detergents, personal care products, and chemical formulations to enhance solubility and improve performance.
MANUFACTURE
It is synthesized by sulfonating decane with chlorosulfonic acid, followed by converting the resulting 1-decylsulfonic acid into its sodium salt using sodium hydroxide.

| CAS no. | 13419-61-9 |
| EINECS no. | 236-525-9 |
| Molecular formula | C10H22NaO3S |
| Molecular weight | 244.33 |
| Structure |  |
APPLICATIONS
| It is used as a surfactant in detergents and cleaners to reduce surface tension, emulsify oils and dirt, and enhance the removal of grease and contaminants by making them easier to wash away with water. |
| It serves as a mild emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products, helping to stabilize water-oil mixtures and improve foaming and cleaning properties. This makes it well-suited for sensitive skin formulations, including creams, lotions, shampoos, and body washes. |
| Amphiphilic nature allows it to solubilize hydrophobic substances in aqueous solutions, making it valuable in pharmaceuticals for enhancing the bioavailability and administration of poorly water-soluble drugs. |
| Acts as a model surfactant in laboratory studies on micelle formation, emulsion stability, and surfactant behavior, with its consistent properties making it valuable in surface chemistry, colloidal science, and materials research. |

Choline salicylate is a salicylate salt formed from choline and salicylic acid. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID-type compound) mainly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and mild antiseptic properties. Unlike acetylated salicylates, it is less irritating to the gastric mucosa and is commonly used in topical oral preparations such as gels and mouth paints.
TensyraTM N-10 (Octoxinol 10; tert-octyl phenyl ethoxylate) is a non-ionic surfactant known for its excellent solubilizing and membrane-permeabilizing properties. It features a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain paired with a lipophilic aromatic hydrocarbon group.It readily breaks down biological membranes to lyse cells, solubilize proteins, and permeabilize cell membranes for assays.
Teprenone (Geranylgeranylacetone, GGA) is a mixture of the all-trans and mono-cis isomers of 6,10,14,18-tetramethyl-5,9,13,17-nonadecatetraen-2-one (in a weight ratio of 3:2). It is an acyclic isoprenoid compound with a structure like retinoids and is widely used for the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers.
Ciclopirox Olamine (CPO) is the N-oxide of a 2 -hydroxy pyridine derivative that carries antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is composed of 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone combined with 2 aminoethanol (olamine) in a 1:1 ratio.
N,N-Dimethylglycine sodium salt (DMG Na) is the sodium salt form of N,N-dimethylglycine, a tertiary amino acid derivative is white to off white crystalline solid, freely soluble in water.
Blown Castor Oil (15-17 Poise) is a modified grade of Castor oil. The “15-17 Poise” specification refers to its viscosity range, indicating a medium-viscosity blown oil suitable for industrial applications requiring improved body, tackiness, and elasticity compared to regular castor oil.
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is a is a tertiary amine that is ethanolamine having two N-methyl substituents. It is clear & colourless to pale yellow liquid with ammoniacal odor. DMAE is stable at room temperature and is completely miscible with water as well as organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers. It decomposes at high temperatures. It is a versatile chemical intermediate primarily used as a curing agent for polyurethane foams and epoxy resins.
1,4,7-Trimethyl-1,4,7-triazonane (Me₃TACN) is a valuable macrocyclic tridentate ligand derived from 1,4,7-triazacyclononane. In Me₃TACN, each nitrogen atom is substituted with a methyl group, which significantly modifies its steric and electronic properties. Me₃TACN is widely used as a ligand in coordination chemistry due to its ability to form stable complexes with transition metals such as Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Zn.
Adenosine is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside composed of adenine and ribose, present in all living cells. It plays a vital role in biochemical processes such as energy transfer (ATP/ADP), signal transduction, and regulation of physiological functions, and is widely used in pharmaceutical applications.
