Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt is a widely used anionic surfactant and emulsifier produced via the sulfation of di-2-ethylhexyl succinic anhydride followed by neutralization. Its molecular formula is C20H37NaO7S, with the CAS No. 577-11-7. This compound acts as a potent wetting agent in various industrial formulations.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions away from incompatible oxidizers. While generally safe for industrial use, high doses in pharmaceutical contexts may cause electrolyte imbalances. Personnel should wear protective gloves and eye gear during handling to prevent skin irritation.
