Description

Sodium 1-(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-Nonyl-1H-Imidazolium Dodecyl Sulphate is a high-performance, amphoteric surfactant and corrosion inhibitor derived from imidazoline chemistry. This compound matters for its unique dual functionality, offering excellent surface activity alongside superior metal protection and compatibility with various formulation chemistries. Industrial buyers in sectors such as metalworking fluids, personal care, textile processing, and oilfield chemicals need this specialized ingredient for formulating stable, high-efficiency products.

Application

• Metalworking Fluids & Corrosion Inhibitors: A key component in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds, providing excellent lubrication and protecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals from rust and tarnish.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a mild surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers, where it enhances foam quality and provides a smooth after-feel.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softener, leveling agent, and antistatic agent in dyeing and finishing processes for fibers, fabrics, and leather goods.
• Oilfield & Industrial Cleaning: Serves as a surfactant and corrosion inhibitor in acidizing formulations, pipeline cleaners, and industrial degreasers for the oil and gas sector.
• Coatings & Paints: Acts as a wetting and dispersing agent in water-based coating systems, improving pigment dispersion and substrate wetting.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a compatibility agent and surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adherence on plant surfaces.
