Sodium Dioctyl Sulfosuccinates
JLK Industries supplies sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (DOSS) in 65%, 70% and 75% active forms. Variations of each for include dilutions in denatured alcohol, diethylene glycol, peg 400, propylene glycol, mineral spirits and mineral seal oil. Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate is the best surface tension reducer on the market today. It is used in many industrial applications for its excellent wetting and foam generation characteristics. Uses for DOSS range from dewatering and de-dusting aid in mineral processing to emulsion polymerization. Other applications include, mild shampoos and bath products, textile scouring and finishing, and carpet shampoos. Below please find a list of the sulfosuccinates that we offer to market.

Phosphate Esters
JLK supplies a wide variety of phosphate esters surfactants. Phosphate esters are created by reacting an ethoxylated fatty alcohol with P2O5 or polyphosphoric acid.
As a class, phosphate esters surfactants are extremely soluble in alkaline solutions. They have excellent heat and chemical stability. Phosphate esters also act as excellent anti-stats retarding or promoting rapid discharge of static electricity. Phosphate esters are also very efficient emulsifiers and provide excellent wetting at temperatures above 50 C.
Phosphate esters are used in industrial cleaner formulations, metalworking, foaming and froth for oil recovery, emulsion polymerization, textiles and in agchem micro emulsions.

Polyethylene Glycol Esters
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) esters are made by reacting polyethylene glycol (glycol and ethylene oxide) with a fatty acid or a glyceride.
The PEG ester family offers the formulator a wide range of HLB’s. These products make great co-emulsifiers in both water-in-oil and oil-in water systems where lubricity and low foaming are prerequisites. As a general rule, PEG ester help build viscosity and make good suspending agents.
PEG esters are used in a variety of applications including opacifiers and pearlescent agents for shampoos and liquid soaps. Many also yield good skin softening and emolliency.
We are continuing do develop new PEG esters. If you don’t see what you are looking for here, please contact us. We would enjoy the opportunity to create a product specifically for your needs.
