Description

Dipotassium Octadec-2-Enylsuccinate is a potassium salt of an olefinic succinic acid derivative, functioning as a specialized anionic surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is valued for its ability to reduce surface tension and stabilize formulations, particularly in systems requiring compatibility with hard water and electrolytes. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical sectors for creating stable emulsions, dispersions, and cleansing products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and surfactant in shampoos, liquid soaps, body washes, and shaving creams, providing rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its excellent stability in acidic or alkaline conditions and hard water.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient dispersion.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a wetting agent, penetrant, and emulsifier in dyeing, finishing, and fatliquoring processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants, providing stability and corrosion inhibition.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Used as a dispersing agent and emulsifier in water-based paints, inks, and coatings to improve pigment wetting and stability.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
