Description

Disodium n-(2-Carboxyethyl)-n-Octadecyl-β-Alaninate is a high-purity, water-soluble amphoteric surfactant derived from β-alanine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and conditioning properties, offering superior mildness and compatibility in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, stable, and skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and conditioning agent in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams, lotions, and serums for its emulsifying stability and skin-compatible, non-irritating characteristics.
• Hair Care Products: Provides excellent detangling, softness, and shine in conditioners, hair masks, and leave-in treatments.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key component in high-performance, low-foaming detergents and cleaner-sanitizers for hard surfaces.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and dyeing assistant, improving fabric handfeel and process efficiency.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic cooling and lubricating fluids.

Quality Control

Our Disodium n-(2-Carboxyethyl)-n-Octadecyl-β-Alaninate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and moisture content is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance.

Storage

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