Description

Sodium (Dodecanoylamino)Acetate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from lauric acid, offering excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties. This compound is valued for its mildness and compatibility, making it a versatile ingredient for formulations requiring gentle yet effective surface activity. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams due to its gentle cleansing and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and floor care products for its effective wetting and emulsification.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in textile scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a surfactant in the production of latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.

Storage

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