DIHEPTYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable CAS 4680-44-8 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Diheptyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate is an anionic surfactant and emulsifier that reduces surface tension. This allows for stable oil-in-water formulations, enhancing product texture and spreadability.

Summary

Anionic Surfactant Emulsifying Agent Wetting Agent Dispersant Foaming Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

It primarily functions by lowering surface tension, enabling the uniform dispersion of immiscible liquids like oil and water. This action also improves ingredient solubility and provides effective foaming and wetting properties.
