Description

Disodium 1-(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium Hydroxide is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from imidazoline chemistry. This compound matters for its unique combination of surface activity, metal ion sequestration, and excellent compatibility in complex formulations, offering superior performance where standard surfactants fall short. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, metalworking, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking advanced, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softening agent, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber processing and fabric finishing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity enhancer in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Functions as a key surfactant and chelant in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in drilling muds and production chemicals.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides as a wetting, spreading, and stabilizing agent.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pigments and fillers.
