Description

n-Dodecyl-B-Iminodipropionic Acid, Monosodium Salt, Anagrade is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant belonging to the alkyl iminodipropionate class. This compound is valued for its excellent mildness, biodegradability, and compatibility with other surfactants across a wide pH range. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors who require high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients. Its Anagrade designation signifies a quality standard suitable for demanding analytical and research applications.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its low irritation profile.
• Home Care & Industrial Cleaners: Effective in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers, offering good foaming and wetting properties.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Products: Incorporated into shaving creams, makeup removers, and other rinse-off products for its gentle cleansing action.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, or leveling agent in various treatment baths.
• Research & Development: The Anagrade quality makes it suitable for use as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and product development labs.
• Emulsion & Dispersion Stabilization: Acts as a stabilizer in polymer emulsions and pigment dispersions for coatings and other industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Anagrade products are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and specialty formulation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
