Description

Dipotassium Tetradec-2-Enylsuccinate is a potassium salt of a long-chain unsaturated succinate derivative, valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is engineered to provide excellent wetting, dispersing, and solubilizing performance in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective anionic surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key ingredient in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations for its grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and dye leveling assistant in fabric pretreatment and dyeing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as a surfactant for emulsification and dispersion.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment wetting, dispersion, and stabilization in water-based coating systems.

Quality Control

Our Dipotassium Tetradec-2-Enylsuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and identity confirmation is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
