Disodium 4-lauryl sulfosuccinate

Disodium 4-lauryl sulfosuccinate (CAS 13192-12-6) is an anionic surfactant derived from sulfosuccinic acid, used in personal care and industrial processing for foam-modifying, emulsifying and cleaning performance.

Where is Disodium 4-lauryl sulfosuccinate used?

• Personal care: shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers
• Textile wet processing: emulsifier and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing
• Leather processing: degreasing and preparation
• Paper manufacturing: dispersing and foaming-control agent in pulp treatment and coating formulations
• It functions as a mild surface-active agent where skin compatibility and process efficiency matter.

Good to know: Controlled foam and mild cleansing without aggressive stripping of the skin barrier are required in personal care. Technical-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications meet differing purity requirements.
