Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate

Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate (CAS 40754-59-4) is a mild anionic surfactant used in personal care and industrial formulations for foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing.

Where is Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate used?

• Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and baby care products requiring mildness and stable foam
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and scouring agent for uniform dye penetration and soil removal
• Coatings and adhesives: emulsification and dispersion stability of polymer systems
• Paper industry: surface treatment and process aids for controlled foaming and wetting
• It is compatible with other surfactants in complex blends.

Good to know: Unlike harsher sulfate-based surfactants, it delivers effective surface activity with a gentler profile.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, active concentrations commonly 30% to 40%
• Bulk supply in drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)
