Description

Ammonium Sulfobetaine-1, Tech., 70 CAS NO 103683-18-7 is a high-performance technical-grade zwitterionic surfactant, supplied as a 70% active aqueous solution. This compound is valued for its excellent stability across a wide pH range and its ability to function effectively as an amphoteric surfactant in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers requiring robust foam control, emulsification, and surface tension reduction, particularly in sectors where harsh chemical environments are common.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and foam booster in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for hard surface and metal cleaning.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and antistatic agent in dyeing and finishing baths, especially under extreme pH conditions.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Functions as a surfactant in chemical flooding formulations to reduce interfacial tension between oil and water, improving oil displacement efficiency.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics (Rinse-off products): Employed in shampoos and body washes for its mildness and stable foaming properties, even in the presence of electrolytes.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a dispersant and wetting agent for pigments and fillers, improving stability and application properties of the final product.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide sprays to enhance wetting, spreading, and adhesion on plant surfaces.
