  • Applications

    Trisodium sulfosuccinate (CAS 13419-59-5) is an anionic surfactant commonly used as a dispersing and wetting agent in cleaning formulations, including household and industrial cleaners; it also serves as a pigment and filler dispersant and stabilizer in inks, coatings, paints, and plastics; it can act as a processing aid and stabilizer in polymer and latex systems, helping control emulsions and the polymerization process; in cosmetics and personal care formulations, it may function as a surfactant and emulsifier to improve texture and compatibility; additionally, it is used as an adjuvant in agricultural sprays to improve wetting and coverage on plant surfaces, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
