Description

4-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl) 2-Isononenylsuccinate, Potassium Salt is a specialized anionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from succinic acid. This compound matters for its unique combination of excellent emulsifying properties, good biodegradability, and mildness, making it suitable for demanding formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in skin creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Key ingredient in mild cleansing formulations such as facial washes, shower gels, and baby shampoos.
• Stabilizing agent for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
• Functional surfactant in industrial and institutional cleaning products requiring good detergency and foam control.
• Additive in textile and leather processing auxiliaries for improved wetting and emulsification.
• Component in agricultural adjuvant systems to enhance the spreading and absorption of active ingredients.
