/ˈdɒkjuːseɪt/) – often referred to as DSS, Aerosol OT or AOT – is a common ingredient in consumer products, especially laxatives of the stool softener type. It is also used as an emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing agent, as a pesticide,[3] as well as a component of the oil dispersant Corexit which was used in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.[4] It is an anionic surfactant, a substance that lowers the surface tension of water.
