Description

(2-Hydroxy-3-Sulphopropyl)Dimethyl[3-[(1-Oxododecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Hydroxide is a specialized zwitterionic surfactant and betaine derivative, valued for its excellent compatibility, mildness, and stability across a wide pH range. Its unique molecular structure, featuring both a long-chain lauroyl amido group and a sulphopropyl betaine moiety, makes it a highly effective and versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial sectors seeking superior performance in products requiring foam boosting, viscosity modification, and skin compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: As a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its mildness and foam-enhancing properties.
• Cosmetic Products: Used in creams, lotions, and makeup removers for its emulsifying and conditioning benefits, improving skin feel.
• Home & Institutional Cleaning: Incorporated into hard surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in formulations for vehicle wash, food processing plant sanitation, and industrial degreasers.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, leveling agent, and antistatic agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations as a viscosity modifier and surfactant.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and absorption of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Research & Development: Serves as a high-purity intermediate or reference standard for synthesizing novel amphoteric surfactants.
