Description

Diammonium 1-Hexadecyl 2-Sulphonatosuccinate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant belonging to the succinate sulfonate ester class. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries seeking stable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: As a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: In heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations for superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: As a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in dyeing, scouring, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spreading, adhesion, and emulsion stability.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its interfacial activity.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which can lead to caking or degradation.
