What is AOS Liquid?
AOS Liquid is the aqueous solution form of Alpha Olefin Sulfonate, typically supplied at 38-40% active matter, designed for direct incorporation into liquid detergent and cleansing product formulations without the need for additional dissolution steps required by the powder form. It offers the same excellent foaming, hard water tolerance, and good biodegradability characteristics as AOS Powder, in a convenient liquid form suited to liquid product manufacturing processes.
Polychem Industries supplies AOS Liquid to liquid detergent manufacturers, dishwashing liquid producers, and personal care formulators across India and internationally. Its ready-to-use liquid form, combined with strong foaming and hard water performance, makes it a convenient and effective surfactant choice for manufacturers producing liquid cleaning and personal care products.
Available Grades

Applications & Uses
Liquid Detergent Manufacturing
Used as a primary or co-surfactant in liquid detergent formulations, providing strong foaming and cleaning performance with good tolerance to water hardness, valued for ease of incorporation directly into liquid formulation batches.
Dishwashing Liquid Production
Widely used in dishwashing liquid formulations for its strong grease-cutting performance combined with rich, stable foam generation, particularly valuable for manual dishwashing products.
Hand Wash & Personal Cleansing
Used in liquid hand soap and personal cleansing product formulations, contributing foaming and cleaning performance while offering a relatively mild profile compared to some harsher anionic surfactants.
Shampoo Base Formulations
Used in certain shampoo and hair care formulations as a co-surfactant, contributing to foam quality and cleansing performance within the overall surfactant system of the formulation.
Vehicle & Equipment Cleaning Liquids
Used in car wash shampoo and equipment cleaning liquid formulations, providing effective cleaning and foam-generating performance in these consumer and institutional cleaning products.
Surfactant System Blending
Used in combination with other liquid surfactants such as SLES and amphoteric surfactants to develop balanced, cost-effective surfactant systems for various liquid cleaning product formulations.
