Sodium Xylene Sulfonate (SXS) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Xylenesulfonate
- Sodium Xylene Sulphonate
- Sodium Xylenesulphonate
- Xylene Sulfonic Acid Sodium Salt
Sodium xylene sulfonate supplier for detergent, cleaner, personal-care and industrial formulators in Malaysia. Also called sodium xylenesulfonate, sodium xylene sulphonate, xylene sulfonic acid sodium salt and SXS (CAS 1300-72-7), this water-soluble hydrotrope keeps surfactants and other actives in clear solution in aqueous concentrates.
Commercial supply is usually offered as liquid grades around 40% active (SXS 40) or higher-active liquid around 90% (SXS 90). The lower-active grade is the everyday hydrotrope for liquid detergents and cleaners, while the higher-active grade suits formulations that need stronger solubilising power with less water.
Cleaning product makers use SXS to raise cloud point, improve clarity and build stable concentrates. Personal-care formulators use it as a solubiliser and viscosity-control aid in shampoos and wash-off products, and selected textile or general manufacturing processes use it where better aqueous solubility of actives is required.

Sodium Xylene 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SXS 40 liquid | aqueous solution, typically about 40% active | — | Hydrotrope and cloud-point control in liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, hard-surface cleaners and other aqueous concentrates. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| SXS 90 liquid | higher-active aqueous liquid or concentrate | — | Higher active content where formulators need less water in the finished product or a stronger hydrotrope dose in limited space. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about sodium xylene sulfonate
Are sodium xylene sulfonate and sodium xylenesulfonate the same product?
Yes. Sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium xylenesulfonate, sodium xylene sulphonate and SXS are alternate names for the same hydrotrope, also written as xylene sulfonic acid sodium salt (CAS 1300-72-7). State the required active content or grade in the enquiry because commercial strengths differ.
Which SXS grade should I request, 40 or 90?
SXS 40 liquid is the common aqueous hydrotrope grade for liquid detergents and cleaners. SXS 90 liquid suits formulations that need a higher active content and less water. Describe the finished product and target active level so the suitable grade can be quoted.
What is sodium xylene sulfonate used for?
It is used mainly as a hydrotrope and solubiliser. Detergent and cleaner makers use it to keep surfactants and other actives in clear solution in concentrates. Personal-care formulators use it in shampoos and wash-off products, and selected textile or industrial processes use it as a wetting or solubilising aid.
What details are needed for a sodium xylene sulfonate price enquiry?
Provide the grade or active content, application, any target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation needs so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
Is sodium xylene sulfonate the same as sodium cumene sulfonate?
No. Both are hydrotropes used in aqueous formulations, but they are different materials. If a formula specifies sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) or a different hydrotrope, state the exact identity and grade so the correct product is quoted.
