(Sodium Diethylhexyl Sulfosuccinate CAS 1639-66-3)

Overview of Sodium Diethylhexyl Sulfosuccinate

Sodium diethylhexyl sulfosuccinate is an efficient anionic surfactant obtained by reacting diethyl hexanol with maleic anhydride, then sulfonating and neutralizing it. The hydrophilic group (sodium sulfonate) and hydrophobic group (diethylhexyl) in its molecular structure endow it with unique amphiphilic properties, enabling it to play an important role at the oil-water interface. This characteristic makes sodium diethylhexyl sulfosuccinate widely used in various fields such as detergents, cosmetics, lubricants, and agricultural chemicals. In addition, its excellent biodegradability also makes it an environmentally friendly surfactant. However, it should be noted that high concentrations or long-term exposure may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, so relevant safety instructions should be followed when using.
