Description

n-Lauroyl-n-Methyltaurine Sodium Salt is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from taurine and lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and across a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild yet effective performance.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A primary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps, prized for its skin compatibility and rich lather.
• Home Care Products: Key component in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for its grease-cutting power and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in formulations for vehicle washes, food processing plant cleaners, and dairy detergents due to its hard water tolerance.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and dyeing processes for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our n-Lauroyl-n-Methyltaurine Sodium Salt is manufactured under a cGMP-compliant quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your production needs.

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 container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance degradation.
