Di-Octyl Sulfosuccinate - OAN D (DOSS)

OAN DOSS is a completely transparent, somewhat sticky liquid and easily dissolve in alcohol, ether, Acetone, warm water and warm alcohol. Because of its molecular structure, the active ingredient has the characteristic that the surface-active power is greater than other general surfactants even at very great dilution. For example, in a certain type of application, it shows an effect even with a concentration of 0.01%.

Applications

Textiles:

The textile industry uses large amounts of di-octyl sulfosuccinate in the processing of various fibres such as cotton, rayon, wool, silk, nylon, dacron orlon and other synthetics. It is used in the following textile.

processing areas:

– Desizing: The wetting power of this surfactant increases the penetration of the desizing agents which leads to a greater production uniformity of the desized cloth.
– Dyeing & printing: OAN DOSS will improve dyestuff dispersibility and solubility, yielding better colour values and greater uniformity.
– Wetting & Penetrating: Times can be reduced in finishing resin treatment operations by adding OAN DOSS to the finishing bath. OAN DOSS is anionic and must be compatible with the finishing
resins in order to obtain optimum results. The use of OAN DOSS in manufacturing cotton towels, mopping yarns and wiping cloths, significantly improves absorbency.

Dry Cleaning :

In dry cleaning charge-soap systems, OAN DOSS facilitates the removal of water-soluble soils because of its detergent action and its ability to maintain a constant level of solubilized water in the cleaning solvent.

Agriculture

The addition of OAN DOSS to liquid fertilizers greatly improves feeding action. The spray action of insecticides and fungicides can also be improved by the use of OAN DOSS as an additive. Di-octyl sulfosuccinate markedly reduces the development of five virus diseases in bean plants and distinctly shows antiviral activity.

Cosmetics

Due to its hydrophilic properties, OAN DOSS is especially suitable for the preparation of oil-in-water emulsions for dermatological and cosmetic purposes. Bath oils consisting of white mineral oils or isopropyl myristate show improved spreading and less deposition on the walls of the bath tub when compounded with less than one percent of OAN DOSS.

Paints

Pigment dispersions can be improved with OAN DOSS. Emulsion polymerization： Extensive use of sulfosuccinates is made in emulsion polymerization where the critical micelle concentration of the emulsifier has a determining influence on the particle size and fluidity of the final polymer emulsion. Distribution of the surface-active agent through both phases will generally result in higher solids and more mechanically stable latex.
