Description

Sodium 1,4-Diisohexyl 2-Sulphosuccinate is a high-purity anionic surfactant belonging to the dialkyl sulfosuccinate ester class. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for formulators in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors, where consistent performance and material compatibility are paramount.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing mildness and stable foam.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Employed in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its superior oil emulsification and soil suspension capabilities.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting and leveling agent in dye baths and finishing operations to ensure uniform color application.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in water-based formulations, improving color development and stability.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids as an emulsifier and rheology modifier.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 1,4-Diisohexyl 2-Sulphosuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and specialty chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and conformance to agreed specifications is provided with each shipment.

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 initial opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
