Description

Disodium Octenylsuccinate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from succinic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and film-forming properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create stable, high-quality emulsions and encapsulated products. Its unique structure allows it to effectively reduce surface tension and promote the formation of fine, uniform dispersions.

Application

• Food Industry: Primarily used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in beverage emulsions, flavor oils, and clouding agents.
• Encapsulation Agent: A key component in the microencapsulation of flavors, vitamins, and oils for improved stability and controlled release.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable formulations.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in drug delivery systems for solubilizing and stabilizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a dispersant and wetting agent in agrochemical formulations and other specialty chemical products.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Octenylsuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. It can be produced to meet various standards including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) for food-grade applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
