Product Description
Main Applications
Sodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate CAS 71963-18-3 is an anionic sulfosuccinate surfactant used in industrial and formulation systems where wetting, cleansing, foaming, emulsifying, or surface-tension reduction is required. It is suitable for buyers looking for a functional surfactant raw material for cleaning, detergent, and specialty formulation use.
In B2B sourcing, Sodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate is commonly considered for household cleaning products, detergent systems, wetting agents, textile auxiliaries, emulsions, and selected personal care or cosmetic raw material applications. The final suitability depends on active content, physical form, pH range, compatibility, foam profile, and the buyer’s formulation requirements.
| Application Area | Buyer-Relevant Use Direction |
|---|---|
| Cleaning and Detergent Formulations | Used as an anionic surfactant for cleansing, wetting, and surface activity in selected detergent systems. |
| Household Chemical Raw Materials | Suitable for formulation development in cleaners, washing products, and related daily chemical systems. |
| Wetting and Emulsifying Systems | Applied where wetting, dispersion support, or emulsification performance is required. |
| Textile and Industrial Auxiliaries | May be used in auxiliary formulations that require anionic wetting or processing performance. |
| Personal Care Formulation Raw Materials | Can be evaluated in selected rinse-off or cleansing systems where a sulfosuccinate surfactant is required. |
Product Specifications
Sodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate may be supplied in different physical forms and active contents depending on the commercial grade. Buyers should confirm the exact specification before purchase, especially when the product is used in detergent, cosmetic, or industrial formulation systems.
For industrial procurement, commonly reviewed specification items include appearance, active matter, pH, water content, solid content, color, viscosity, free matter, salt content, and compatibility with the target formulation. Exact values should be confirmed with the current TDS, COA, or agreed supply standard.

Packaging and Supply
Sodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate CAS 71963-18-3 can be supplied in standard industrial packaging according to its physical form, active content, and shipment requirements. Liquid or paste grades may use drum or IBC packaging, while powder or solid grades may use bags, cartons, or other suitable export packaging.
For quotation and supply evaluation, buyers are encouraged to provide the required active content, physical form, application field, order quantity, packaging preference, destination country or port, and document requirements. This helps confirm whether the available grade is suitable for cleaning products, detergent systems, textile auxiliaries, or other surfactant formulations.
Storage and Handling
Store Sodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Protect the product from moisture, contamination, direct sunlight, and excessive heat.
For liquid or paste grades, avoid freezing or long-term exposure to high temperature unless otherwise stated in the product TDS. Use suitable protective equipment during handling and avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. Users should review the latest SDS and technical data before formulation testing, transportation, storage, or production-scale use.
