Ascent Chemicals' Dioctyl Sulfosuccinates are high-efficiency anionic surfactants known for outstanding wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing power. Their fast action, low foam profile, and broad solvent compatibility make them versatile additives in demanding formulations across markets such as agriculture, metalworking, textiles, and industrial processing. These DOSS grades deliver strong performance even at low use levels, supporting efficient, high-performing systems.

Ascent Chemicals’ Sulfated Specialties are customizable sulfate surfactants designed for fast wetting, strong detergency, and rich foam. Their adjustable chain lengths and EO levels allow formulators to fine-tune solubility, viscosity, and performance across a wide range of systems. These surfactants support applications from industrial and institutional cleaning to textiles, vehicle wash, agricultural adjuvants, and general-purpose degreasing, offering a flexible way to meet specific wetting and cleaning targets.

Ascent Chemicals’ fatty alcohol-based nonsilicone defoamers deliver rapid foam knockdown and reliable control through surface-active bubble collapse. They perform well in alkaline systems and high-shear environments across industries, including floor care, degreasing, metal cleaning, and extraction processes. Choose these defoamers when persistent foam control is needed without introducing silicone.

Ascent Chemicals' Silicone Emulsions are water-dispersible PDMS defoamers that give fast knockdown at low dose and stable suppression under high pH, heat, and shear. Use in Clean-in-place (CIP), tunnel and spray washers, fabric finishing, waste water treatment, and drilling muds. Easy to pump and rinse. Good choice for clear aqueous systems needing reliable air release.
