Description

n-Laurylaminoacetic Acid is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant derived from laurylamine and glycine. This compound is valued for its excellent mildness, foam-boosting properties, and compatibility with both anionic and cationic systems, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors for its superior performance in sensitive applications.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Key ingredient in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its low irritation profile.
• Home Care Products: Used in premium liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for enhanced foam stability and grease cutting.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Employed in formulations for vehicle washes, food processing plant sanitizers, and dairy cleaners where mildness and efficiency are required.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Functions as a co-surfactant and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and shaving gels.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, leveling agent, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.

Quality Control

Our n-Laurylaminoacetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, amine value, and pH. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant standards for cosmetic and industrial ingredient supply.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
