Description

Glycine, N-(Carboxymethyl)-N-3-(Hexyloxy)Propyl-, Monosodium Salt is a specialized amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine. This compound matters for its unique ability to provide effective chelation and surface activity in demanding formulations, particularly under alkaline conditions. Industries requiring high-performance metal ion control and mild surfactant properties, such as advanced cleaning, personal care, and industrial process chemistry, will find this material essential.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Acts as a powerful builder and chelator in heavy-duty alkaline cleaners, degreasers, and metal cleaning formulations to sequester calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions that interfere with cleaning.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a mild surfactant and stabilizer in shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off products, where it helps to improve foam quality and product stability in hard water.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a chelating agent in scouring, bleaching, and dyeing baths to prevent metal-catalyzed degradation of fabrics and dyes, ensuring consistent color and fiber quality.
• Pulp & Paper Manufacturing: Employed in bleaching processes to chelate transition metals like manganese and iron, which can catalyze the decomposition of bleaching agents and damage cellulose fibers.
• Agricultural Formulations: Functions as a compatibility agent and stabilizer in liquid fertilizers and pesticide formulations, helping to keep micronutrients in solution and prevent precipitation.
• Water Treatment: Applied as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water and boiler water systems to control mineral scale formation and improve operational efficiency.

Quality Control

Our Glycine, N-(Carboxymethyl)-N-3-(Hexyloxy)Propyl-, Monosodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
