Description

Dihydroxyethyl Lauramine Oxide is a high-purity, non-ionic/cationic surfactant derived from lauric acid. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, along with its mildness and compatibility with other ingredients. It is a critical component for formulators seeking high-performance, stable, and skin-friendly products across several industrial and consumer sectors.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary foaming and viscosity-building agent in shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and facial cleansers for a rich, stable lather.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key surfactant in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Textile Processing: Used as an emulsifier, antistatic agent, and dye leveling assistant in textile manufacturing and fiber processing.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent and spreader to enhance the efficacy and coverage of pesticides and herbicides.
• Foam Stabilization: Employed in foam rubber, fire-fighting foams, and other applications requiring long-lasting, stable foam structures.
