Description

n-Dodecylglucamine is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and chelating agent derived from glucose and dodecylamine. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent surface-active properties and its ability to form stable complexes with various metal ions, making it a versatile component in advanced formulations. It is primarily utilized by industries requiring effective emulsification, dispersion, and metal sequestration, such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, and industrial cleaning.

Application

• As a key surfactant and emulsifier in high-end personal care products, including shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams.
• As a chelating agent in pharmaceutical formulations to stabilize active ingredients by sequestering trace metal ions.
• In industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for enhanced soil removal and surface wetting.
• As a dispersing agent in agrochemical formulations for improved stability and efficacy of active ingredients.
• In biochemical research as a mild, non-denaturing detergent for membrane protein solubilization.
• As a component in specialty coatings and adhesives to improve surface compatibility and stability.

Quality Control

Our n-Dodecylglucamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and physical parameters is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
