Description

Dihexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate is a high-purity anionic surfactant belonging to the sulfosuccinate ester class, identified by CAS NO 3006-15-3. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in industries requiring stable microemulsions and effective surface tension reduction.

Application

• Microemulsion Formulation: A key component in the creation of clear, stable microemulsions for agrochemicals, coatings, and cutting fluids.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Used as a surfactant in chemical flooding to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement in reservoirs.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Provides superior wetting and penetrating action in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and wetting agent to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Personal Care: Employed as a mild secondary surfactant and foam booster in select cosmetic and toiletry formulations.
• Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
