Description

Dipotassium Dodec-2-Enylsuccinate is a potassium salt of an unsaturated succinate ester surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products, agrochemicals, and as a specialty surfactant in various chemical synthesis processes.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a dispersing and wetting agent in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance coverage and efficacy.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a specialty surfactant in the production of synthetic latexes and polymer dispersions.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting and scouring agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in formulations for drilling muds and emulsion breakers due to its surface-active properties.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Can be used as a mild co-surfactant in select rinse-off formulations like body washes.

Quality Control

Our Dipotassium Dodec-2-Enylsuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and pH 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
