Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- AOS
- Alpha Olefin Sulphonate
- Sodium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Alpha olefin sulfonate supplier for detergent, cleaner, personal-care and industrial formulators in Malaysia. Also called AOS, alpha olefin sulphonate and sodium alpha olefin sulfonate, this anionic surfactant is selected for strong foam, detergency and performance in aqueous cleaning systems.
Commercial supply covers liquid grades, often around 35 to 40% active, high-active powder, needle or flake dry grades, and paste or concentrate forms. Chain-range language such as sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate appears on many trade sheets, but not every AOS grade is identical, so form and assay should be stated clearly.
Cleaning product makers use AOS in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids and industrial cleaners. Personal-care formulators may specify it in selected rinse-off cleansers, while manufacturing and textile processes use it where a high-foaming anionic surfactant is required.
Send the required form, active content or grade, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- liquid, powder, paste
- Appearance
- clear to pale yellow liquid, paste, or free-flowing powder according to form
Alpha Olefin Sulfonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AOS liquid | aqueous liquid, commonly about 35 to 40% active | active matter confirmed against the required grade | Liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, industrial cleaners and other aqueous high-foam systems where a pumpable anionic surfactant is preferred. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| AOS powder | free-flowing powder, needle or flake dry grade | typically high-active dry material; confirm the required assay | Dry detergent blends, laundry powders and processes that charge solid surfactant rather than liquid concentrate. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| AOS paste | viscous paste or high-active concentrate | active matter confirmed against the enquiry | Formulations that need a higher active loading than standard liquid grades without switching fully to dry powder handling. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place. Protect liquid grades from extremes of temperature and keep dry grades away from moisture. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about alpha olefin sulfonate
What is AOS, and is it the same as alpha olefin sulfonate?
Yes. AOS is the common trade abbreviation for alpha olefin sulfonate, also written alpha olefin sulphonate and often ordered as sodium alpha olefin sulfonate. State the form and active content in the enquiry, because liquid, paste and dry grades are not interchangeable on a plant line.
Should I order liquid, powder or paste AOS?
Liquid grades, commonly around 35 to 40% active, suit pumpable detergent and cleaner systems. High-active powder, needle or flake grades suit dry blends and bag charging. Paste or high-active concentrate grades sit between those options when a recipe needs more solids without full dry handling. Describe the process and target active level so the suitable form can be quoted.
Is sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate the same product as AOS?
Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is a common chain-range description within the alpha olefin sulfonate family, not a different surfactant class. Not every commercial AOS grade is C14-16, so quote the chain range or specification on the enquiry if the formulation fixes it.
How does AOS differ from SLS, SLES and LABSA?
AOS is a separate anionic surfactant from sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and linear alkylbenzene sulphonic acid (LABSA). Each has its own identity, form set and performance profile, so order against the exact name and specification on the formulation sheet.
What specifications should a buyer provide for alpha olefin sulfonate?
State form, target active matter, any chain-range preference such as C14-16, appearance or colour limits, and the intended application. If a current raw-material sheet exists, include those limits so the quoted grade can be matched more closely.
What details are needed for an AOS price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, active content, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any product documents required so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
