Description

n-[3-(Dimethylamino)Propyl]Lauramide is a versatile tertiary amide surfactant and foam booster derived from lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and viscosity-modifying properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking high-performance, mild, and stable ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant, foam booster, and viscosity enhancer in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams.
• Home Care Products: Used in liquid dishwashing detergents, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for its grease-cutting and foam-stabilizing effects.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in textile processing aids, metalworking fluids, and agrochemical formulations.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Functions as a conditioning agent and emollient in skin creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, improving texture and feel.
• Foam Control Applications: Employed in systems requiring controlled, stable foam, such as in fire-fighting foams or foam-based industrial processes.
