Sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate

Sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate

Overview
Sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS) is an important component of detergent
Detergent
A detergent is a material intended to assist cleaning. The term is sometimes used to differentiate between soap and other surfactants used for cleaning...

s and bleach
Bleach
A bleach is a chemical that removes colors or whitens, often via oxidation. Common chemical bleaches include household "chlorine bleach", a solution of approximately 3–6% sodium hypochlorite , and "oxygen bleach", which contains hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide-releasing compound such as sodium...

es. It is known as a bleaching activator for active oxygen sources, allowing formulas containing hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It is a weak acid, has strong oxidizing properties, and is a powerful bleaching agent. It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as a propellant...

Sodium perborate
Sodium perborate is a white, odorless, water-soluble chemical compound with chemical formula 3. It crystallizes as the monohydrate, NaBO3.H2O, tetrahydrate, NaBO3.4H2O and trihydrate, NaBO3.3H2O...

Sodium persulfate
Sodium persulfate is a chemical compound. It is a strong oxidizer. It is a severe irritant of skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is almost non-hygroscopic and has particularly good ability to be stored for long time. It is easy and safe to handle...
