  • Applications

    Dihexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate (CAS 3006-15-3) is an anionic surfactant and emulsifier used across multiple industries. In household and industrial cleaners, cosmetics and personal care formulations, it acts as a wetting agent and stabilizer for emulsions. In paints, coatings and inks it serves as a pigment dispersant, wetting agent and leveling aid to improve film formation. In polymer processing and plastics manufacturing it functions as a processing aid and lubricant additive, improving formulation compatibility and flow. It is also evaluated as a surfactant and dispersant in agricultural spray formulations to improve spreading and wetting on leaf surfaces. Additionally, it may be used in other industrial formulations as an emulsifier and surfactant, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
