Na-sulphosuccinate is a water-soluble, anionic organic salt derived from sulfosuccinic acid.
Na-sulphosuccinate belongs to a broader class of sulfosuccinate compounds commonly known for their excellent surfactant and emulsifying properties.
This particular form — the monosodium salt — is structurally simpler and more hydrophilic than its esterified counterparts.
Na-sulphosuccinate contains both carboxylate and sulfonate functional groups, giving it unique solubility and surface activity.
Na-sulphosuccinate is organic compounds with the formula NaO₃SCH(CO₂R')CH₂CO₂R where R and R' can be H or alkyl groups.
Na-sulphosuccinate comprises a large class of surfactants and emulsifiers used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning agents.
Na-sulphosuccinate is colorless salt.
These materials can be further classified into monoesters (R' = H, R = alkyl) and diesters (R and R' = alkyl).
Na-sulphosuccinate is a rare-earth metal carboxylate primarily used as a non-lead drier in paints/varnishes, a catalyst in organic synthesis, and precursor for cerium oxide deposition.
USES and APPLICATIONS of Na-SULPHOSUCCINATE:
Industrial Cleaners: Due to its strong wetting ability, Na-sulphosuccinate's used in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and other industrial cleaning agents.
Electroplating & Metal Treatment: Na-sulphosuccinate's ability to reduce surface tension is beneficial in metal plating baths, improving the evenness of coatings.
Agricultural Formulations: Na-sulphosuccinate's used in pesticide or herbicide products to increase the adhesion and spread of active ingredients on plant surfaces.

Na-sulphosuccinate is a high volume example is sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate.
This is perhaps best known as the laxative docusate, however Na-sulphosuccinate's main use is as a surfactant for which it finds common use in personal-care and household-care products, often under the name Aerosol-OTs.
It is unusual in that Na-sulphosuccinate is able to form microemulsions without the use of co-surfactants, and it has a rich variety of aqueous-phase behavior including multiple liquid crystalline phases.
