A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate (CAS 268380-50-3) is an anionic surfactant, the disodium salt of a lauryl half-ester of sulfosuccinic acid. It is documented as a surface-active agent used for cleansing and foaming in personal-care and household formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate used for?
Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate (CAS 268380-50-3) is an anionic surfactant used as a cleansing and foaming agent in personal-care and household formulations. It is the disodium salt of a lauryl half-ester of sulfosuccinic acid and commonly serves as a co-surfactant paired with primary surfactants. RawSource supplies it in bulk drum and tote quantities to formulators and manufacturers.
Is disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate (SLSA) the same as SLS?
No. SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is a sulfate ester, while disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate is a sulfosuccinate half-ester — a different anionic chemistry with a different CAS (268380-50-3) and structure. The two are not interchangeable on a CoA or in formulation; confirm the exact INCI and CAS against your specification before substituting.
Is disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate natural?
It is a synthesized anionic surfactant produced by esterifying a lauryl alcohol with maleic/sulfosuccinic chemistry and neutralizing to the disodium salt. Feedstock alcohols can derive from petrochemical or oleochemical (coconut/palm) sources depending on the supplier and grade. Specify your sourcing requirement at quote and request the matching CoA.
What is the CAS number and HS code for disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate?
The CAS number is 268380-50-3 and the molecular formula is C17H30Na2O7S. For import classification it falls under HS 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents, other). RawSource provides a CoA and SDS with each bulk shipment.
What is the cost of bulk disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate?
Bulk pricing depends on grade, order volume, packaging (drum, tote, IBC), and freight terms. Request a current quote from RawSource with your target volume and destination and we will return landed pricing plus available lead time. Pricing is quoted, not listed, because it moves with feedstock markets.
