Description

Trideceth-2 Carboxamide Mea is a non-ionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated tridecyl alcohol, valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and conditioning properties. This compound is particularly significant for formulators seeking mild, water-soluble ingredients with good compatibility in a wide pH range. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors who require effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier, foam booster, and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its grease-cutting and foaming characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for vehicle washes, floor cleaners, and degreasers where robust performance is required.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and softener in various processing baths and finishing applications.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
