Four products were obtained from sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and formaldehyde (40% solution) using a simple reaction. The products were characterized by TGA, IR, UV and MS to confirm the major chemicals in each sample. The new products could reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water in the experimental temperature range further compared to SDBS. The emulsion ability was also enhanced by SDBS-1 to SDBS-4. The oil-displacement efficiencies of SDBS-1 to SDBS-4 were obviously higher than that of SDBS, and the oil-displacement efficiency of SDBS-2 was the best, with an efficiency of 25%. The experimental results all indicate that these products have an excellent ability to reduce oil–water interfacial tension and that they can be used in the oil and petrochemical industry for oil production and have certain practical uses.
