Aerosol OT-75 Surfactant (Sodium Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate)

Description

Aerosol OT-75 Surfactant is a highly efficient anionic surfactant made from sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate. Known for its superior wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying capabilities, it is widely used in various industrial and laboratory applications. Its high-performance properties make it an essential component in formulations for textiles, agriculture, personal care, and coatings. Manufactured to meet stringent quality standards, each 1 kg container is securely packaged and clearly labeled with all relevant safety information.

Applications for Aerosol OT-75 Surfactant:

Industrial Applications

• Textile Industry:
  • Acts as a wetting agent to enhance dye penetration and improve fabric processing.
  • Used in textile scouring, dye leveling, and fiber lubrication.
• Agriculture:
  • Incorporated in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
  • Facilitates better penetration of active ingredients.
• Metalworking Fluids:
  • Functions as a dispersant and lubricant in metalworking fluids.
  • Improves emulsification in oil-water systems, enhancing cooling and lubrication.
• Paints and Coatings:
  • Stabilizes emulsions in paints, varnishes, and coatings.
  • Reduces surface tension for uniform application and improved flow.

Personal Care and Cosmetics

• Shampoos and Conditioners:
  • Acts as an emulsifier to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients.
• Lotions and Creams:
  • Stabilizes emulsions and improves product texture.

Laboratory and Research

• Analytical Chemistry:
  • Used in chromatography and other analytical techniques requiring surfactants.
• Emulsion Polymerization:
  • Functions as an emulsifying agent in the synthesis of latex and polymers.

Environmental Applications

• Oil Spill Dispersants:
  • Acts as a surfactant in formulations to break oil into smaller droplets for easier degradation.
• Cleaning Solutions:
  • Used in industrial and household cleaning agents to enhance the solubilization of oily and greasy soils.

Food and Pharmaceutical Applications

• Pharmaceutical Formulations:
  • Used as an excipient for emulsification and dispersion in drug formulations.
• Food Additive:
  • May be used in certain food-grade applications where surfactants are required (ensure food-grade certification).

Key Benefits in Applications:

• Reduces surface tension, promoting better wetting, spreading, and emulsification.
• High stability across a range of temperatures and pH levels.
• Suitable for use in water and oil-based systems.

Storage Guidelines

• Storage Conditions:
  • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or open flames.
  • Keep the storage temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F) to maintain product stability.
• Container Requirements:
  • Use tightly sealed, chemical-resistant containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
  • Ensure containers are properly labeled with product and hazard information.
• Segregation:
  • Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids to avoid potential reactions.
  • Store separately from food, beverages, and incompatible materials.

Handling Guidelines

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
  • Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact.
  • Use a respirator if handling large quantities in poorly ventilated areas.
• Work Area:
  • Handle in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent inhalation of fumes or vapors.
  • Avoid creating dust or aerosols during handling.
• Safe Handling Practices:
  • Avoid direct contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing.
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the product.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Spill Response:
  • For small spills, use inert absorbent materials such as sand, vermiculite, or paper towels.
  • For larger spills, ventilate the area, contain the spill, and follow your organization’s spill response protocol.
