Description

Dipotassium Dodecenylsuccinate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from dodecenylsuccinic anhydride. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties in aqueous systems, offering a balance of performance and mildness. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical industries seeking effective and stable anionic agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant in mild cleansing products, facial washes, and shampoos.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key wetting and emulsifying agent in heavy-duty degreasers and alkaline cleaners.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes and polymer dispersions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Provides emulsification and corrosion inhibition in soluble oils and coolants.
