 Base for agrochemical spreaders: Provides spreading properties to plants and insects. 

Performance data of sulfosuccinate-type anionic surfactant (sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate) "SANMORIN OT-70" 

Permeability

As shown in the figure below, "SANMORIN OT-70" has excellent permeability. 

Fig. Relationship between concentration (active ingredient) and penetration power of "SANMORIN OT-70" 

Test Method
Sample
Samples were prepared by diluting "SANMORIN OT-70" and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate with water to the prescribed concentration (active ingredient). 

Measuring method
A degreased cotton canvas piece (15 x 15 x 0.7 mm) was gently placed on the solution surface at 20°C, and the time required for the cotton canvas piece to submerge under the water and begin to sink was measured. 

 The shorter time required means better permeability. 

Surface tension lowering capacity

As shown in the figure below, "SANMORIN OT-70" has excellent surface tension lowering ability.

Test Method
Sample
Samples were prepared by diluting "SANMORIN OT-70" to the prescribed concentration (active ingredient) with water. 

Measuring method
The surface tension of the sample was measured at 25°C using a Wilhelmy-type automatic surface tension meter [CBVP-A3 type manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.

Sample preparation method
Method of measuring monomer polymerization conversion 

After drying the sample at 130°C for 90 minutes, the mass of the sample was measured, and the percentage of the mass to the theoretical evaporation residue of the polymer emulsion was defined as the monomer polymerization conversion. 

Method of Measuring Viscosity of Polymer Emulsion
The viscosity was measured using a BL viscometer at 25°C and 60 rpm. 

Method of Measuring Particle Size of Polymer Emulsion 

The cumulant average particle size of emulsion particles in the sample was measured by dynamic light scattering. 

Method of measuring the stability of polymer emulsions
Samples were stored in a thermostatic oven at 25°C, and their appearance was visually judged at each predetermined period.

Usage

It can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants (except cationic surfactants) as a wetting agent, penetrating agent, household or industrial cleaner, emulsifier, or dispersant. 

Concentrations vary depending on the application and the type of agent used in combination, but the standard range is 0.05-10% by mass. 

Precautions against misuse 

"SANMORIN OT-70" is an anionic agent. If it is used in combination with a cationic agent, it may cause agglomerates and fail to perform as expected. Do not use "SANMORIN OT-70" together with cationic agents. 

If "SANMORIN OT-70" is used under strongly alkaline or acidic conditions, it may lose its effectiveness due to hydrolysis. Do not use "SANMORIN OT-70" under strongly alkaline or acidic conditions.
