Sodium Docusate - DOS PG 70 - Sodium Sulfosuccinate CAS 577-11-7

Sodium Docusate (DOS or DOSS), also known as di(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate, is an anionic surfactant used primarily as a wetting and emollient agent in industrial and cosmetic formulations. It is valued for its ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, thereby facilitating dispersion and moistening of ingredients in aqueous solutions.

This compound is a sodium salt of sulfosuccinate, soluble in water and alcohol, available in liquid or powder form depending on the specific requirements of its application.

Properties

• Anionic surfactant: Improves wetting and dispersion of immiscible substances in aqueous solutions.
• Emollient: Softens and conditions surfaces and substances in cosmetic and industrial formulations.
• Humectant: Facilitates surface wetting.
• Solubility: Good solubility in water and alcohol.
• Pharmaceutical: Excipient or active ingredient in laxative products. Molecule recognized as Safe "GRAS" by the FDA.
• Food additive: as a wetting, dispersing, and stabilizing agent. Code E480 (INS code 480)
