Description

Sodium n-Octadecyl-β-Alaninate is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant derived from stearic acid and β-alanine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and conditioning properties, offering a unique combination of anionic and cationic characteristics. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking mild yet effective performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, skin creams, and lotions, providing a soft, smooth feel.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used as an antistatic agent and substantive conditioner to improve hair manageability, shine, and texture.
• Industrial Surfactants: Serves as a dispersant and emulsifier in textile processing, leather treatment, and polymer emulsions.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Detergent Systems: Incorporated into specialty cleaning formulations for its compatibility with other surfactants and soil-suspending power.
