Description

Erucylamido Propyl Betaine is a high-performance amphoteric surfactant derived from erucic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. This compound is valued for its excellent conditioning, thickening, and foam-boosting properties, offering superior mildness and compatibility with other ingredients. It is primarily used by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance product performance and skin feel.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: As a primary or secondary surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving products for its mildness and rich lather.
• Hair Conditioners & Treatments: Provides exceptional detangling, softness, and manageability due to its substantive conditioning effect on hair fibers.
• Baby Care Products: Ideal for ultra-mild baby shampoos and washes where gentle cleansing and minimal eye irritation are critical.
• Home Care & Detergents: Used in liquid dish soaps, hand soaps, and all-purpose cleaners to improve viscosity, foam stability, and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Incorporated into floor cleaners, vehicle washes, and other hard-surface cleaners for its emulsifying and surface-active properties.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams and lotions, improving texture and application feel.

Quality Control

Our Erucylamido Propyl Betaine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and safety for its intended applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as active matter content, pH, and chloride content is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and specification compliance.

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); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
