Dioctyl sulfosuccinate

Dioctyl sulfosuccinate (CAS 2373-23-1) is an anionic surfactant used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant.

Where is Dioctyl sulfosuccinate used?

• Personal care: wetting and emulsifying agent in cleansers and shampoos
• Skin conditioning: ingredient dispersion and consistent texture
• Food processing: emulsifier and wetting agent for controlled dispersion of fats or solids
• Textile and leather: improves dye bath penetration and fiber wetting, reducing processing time and improving color uniformity
• Water treatment: disperses particulates and aids defoaming and surface-active control
• It lowers surface tension effectively at low concentrations.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity, active content percentage, and solvent carrier composition.

Commercial specifications

• Food-grade and technical-grade specifications are the most commercially common
