Description

3,3'-(Dodecylimino)Dipropionic Acid, Sodium Salt is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent. This compound is valued for its excellent metal ion sequestration, surface activity, and compatibility across a wide pH range. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating high-performance products requiring stability and mildness.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a mild surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Detergent & Cleaning Products: Acts as a builder and chelating agent in liquid and powder detergents to inactivate water hardness ions.
• Industrial Cleaners: Employed in metal cleaning and degreasing formulations for its emulsifying and sequestering properties.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a dyeing assistant and leveling agent, and in scouring and bleaching baths.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Functions as a stabilizer and compatibility agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids as a corrosion inhibitor and scale control additive.
