Sulfosuccinate Market: Potential and Latest TrendPosted by Aparna P on September 22nd, 2022  Sulfosuccinates are metal (sodium) salts of monoester or diester sulfosuccinic acid. Produced from maleic acid anhydride, they are primarily anionic surfactants. Unlike other anionic surfactants, sulfosuccinates cause less irritation to the skin and eyes as they have mild cleansing characteristics. With biodegradable and good foaming properties, they also provide performance properties such as dispersing, wetting, foaming, and solubilization.
Diesters and monoesters are the two variants of sulfosuccinates. Diesters are less soluble in water, cause irritation to skin and eyes, and possess poor foaming properties, therefore they are used as wetting agents and dispersants. Monoester sulfosuccinates, on the other hand, are mild on the eyes and skin and make for good foaming agents, thus finding extensive application in the personal care industry.
