Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate

Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate (CAS 36409-57-1) is a mild anionic surfactant for personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.

Where is Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate used?

• Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes and baby cleansers
• Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent that removes oils, sizing agents and process soils
• Leather processing: degreasing baths in pre-tanning stages
• Paper manufacturing: foam control in pulp processing and coating formulations
• It also improves the dispersion of fiber slurries.

Good to know: Provides detergency with a gentler profile than conventional sulfate-based surfactants, a key consideration for sensitive-skin and low-irritation lines.
