Ethane Sulfonates
Sulfonating ethoxylated alcohols (e.g. ethane sulfonates) gives products with excellent water solubility and chemical stability, at high temperatures.

There are three types of fatty acid and ester sulfonates: Sulfonated unsaturated acids, Salts of alpha-sulfonated fatty esters, Omega sulfonated fatty acids.
Surfactants in detergent formulations are incorporated in very different proportions from less than 1% to over 40%.
paraffin sulfonates are Produced by the sulfoxidation of normal linear paraffin with sulfur dioxide and oxygen and catalyzed with ultraviolet light
The sulfonates have the sulfur atom directly linked to the carbon atom which is usually, but not always, in an aromatic ring.
Sulfated alkanolamide ethoxylates are excellent detergents, particularly for dishwashing but are too costly and therefore not used. The only known application is in shampoos, and this is now probably being replaced by betaines.
Alcohol ether sulfates are excellent detergents, don’t show loss of detergency in hard water (unlike AS or LABS). Therefore can be used as unbuilt.
DEA lauryl sulfate is used in shampoos. SLS was main surfactant for shampoos. excellent for creams and pastes. ALS is used in shampoos.
