Description

Disodium Hexadecenylsuccinate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from succinic acid and a C16 olefin. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance personal care products, industrial cleaners, and specialty chemical applications where mildness and stability are required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier and cleansing agent in facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and sensitive skin formulations.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its effective wetting and soil suspension capabilities.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent and dispersant in dyeing and finishing baths to ensure uniform color application.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor.
• Paint & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Hexadecenylsuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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