Description

2-Heptyl-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1-(2-Hydroxy-3-Sulphonatopropyl)-2-Imidazolinium, Monosodium Salt is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant belonging to the imidazolinium class, valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and antistatic properties. Its unique molecular structure, featuring both cationic and anionic groups, provides superior compatibility and performance stability across a wide pH range. This compound is essential for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild yet effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant and conditioner in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and skin-friendly profile.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatment and fabric finishing to improve handle and processability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its emulsifying power and foam stability.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and completion fluids as a corrosion inhibitor and surfactant for enhanced fluid performance.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a wetting and dispersing agent to improve pigment incorporation and stability in aqueous systems.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
