Description	Structure	Potential Application
Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acids and their salts		Detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, dispersants, for agricultural surfactants, metal treating, corrosion inhibitors, oil field, emulsion polymerization, etc.
Dialkylbenzene disulfonic acids and their salts		Dispersants, emulsifiers, wetting agents, hydrotropes, for cleaners, detergents, emulsion polymerization, metal treating, agriculture, oilfield, etc.
Dialkylbenzene sulfonic acids and their salts		Dispersants and emulsifiers for oil field, agriculture, emulsion polymerization, heavy duty cleaners, metal treating, lubricants, etc.
Alkyltoluene/alkyl xylene sulfonic acids and their salts		Dispersants and emulsifiers for EOR, heavy duty cleaners, drilling muds, metal treating, oilfield, lubricants, etc.
Alkylnaphthalene sulfonic acids/ condensed alkyl naphthalene sulfonic acids and their salts		Dispersants and emulsifiers for cleaners, detergents, agriculture, oilfield, drilling muds, cement, EOR, metal treating, etc.
Alkylphenol sulfonic acids/condensed alkylphenol sulfonic acids and their salts		Demulsifiers, emulsifiers, dispersants for drilling muds, agriculture, water treatment, emulsion polymerization. Can be further alkoxylated with EO, PO, BO, etc. Also suggested as intermediate for pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments, etc.
