SULFONIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sulfonic acids are a class of organic acids with the general formula RSO3H, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group. These acids are used in various industrial and chemical applications, primarily as catalysts, surfactants, and intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. In the detergent industry, sulfonic acids are employed as surfactants, providing effective cleaning action by reducing surface tension and emulsifying oils and greases. They are also used as catalysts in certain chemical reactions, enhancing the rate and efficiency of the processes. Proper handling and storage of sulfonic acids are essential to maintain their quality and prevent contamination. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial to prevent skin and eye irritation and other health hazards. Their versatility and effectiveness as catalysts and surfactants make sulfonic acids valuable chemicals in numerous industrial applications.
