Sulfonated surfactant and hydrocarbon synthesis: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

Engineering the chemical conversion of waste plastics into functionalized N-acyl aminoalkane sulfonates and linear alkylbenzenes. This creates value by integrating circular economy feedstocks into high-performance surfactant synthesis.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Sulfonated surfactant and hydrocarbon synthesis?

Surfactant phase instability

(14)evidences

Liquid detergent compositions frequently suffer from phase separation, precipitation, or loss of efficacy over time. Addressing these stability issues ensures product shelf-life and consistent cleaning performance.

Surfactant formulation impurity contamination

(7)evidences

The keywords highlight the difficulty of maintaining stability and flowability in concentrated surfactant blends and the presence of unwanted chemical contaminants. Solving this allows for more efficient transport and higher purity chemical formulations.
