Description

1-Propanaminium, 3-(2-Ethylhexyl)Oxy-2-Hydroxy-n-(2-Hydroxy-3-Sulfopropyl)-N,n-Dimethyl-, Inner Salt is a high-purity, specialty zwitterionic surfactant and betaine derivative. This compound is engineered to deliver exceptional performance as a mild, amphoteric surfactant with excellent foam stability and viscosity-building properties. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking superior mildness and compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products where mildness is paramount.
• Home Care & Detergents: Key component in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for enhanced foam stability and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in formulations for vehicle wash, food processing plant cleaners, and dairy detergents requiring high performance with low irritation.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Products: Employed in shaving creams, bubble baths, and other foaming products to improve viscosity and sensory profile.
• Oilfield & Industrial Applications: Acts as a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) in fracturing fluids or as a foam booster in specialized industrial processes.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, softener, or dyeing assistant due to its amphoteric nature and compatibility with various auxiliaries.
