Product Application of Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate Sodium Salt CAS#577-11-7
Docusate sodium is primarily used as a laxative and stool-softening agent for the treatment of constipation, helping improve bowel movement comfort. It is also utilized in the development of electrospun fiber-based drug delivery systems for achieving precise and controlled release of antibiotic medications.
In the textile industry, docusate sodium functions as a multifunctional auxiliary agent, serving as an emulsifier, detergent, penetrant, thickening agent, and wetting agent due to its excellent spreading ability, permeability, and wettability. Also known as Aerosol OT, it is widely applied as a surfactant, emulsifier, and wetting agent in printing, dyeing, and cosmetic formulations.
Additionally, docusate sodium can be combined with CAPSO to create microemulsion electrophoresis systems for the detection of natural and synthetic estrogens. It is also used in the preparation of reversed-phase microparticles in hydrocarbon solvents, showing good compatibility with the dissolution of various membrane proteins. Furthermore, it serves as a functional component in printing and dyeing processes, acting as a penetrant, emulsifier, leveling agent, and as an emulsion ingredient for photosensitive materials.
