Description

n-Carboxymethyl-n-(1-Oxododecyl)Glycine is a specialized amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine. This compound matters for its unique ability to function effectively across a wide pH range while offering excellent compatibility with other formulation components. Industries requiring high-performance, mild, and biodegradable surfactants or metal ion control need this product, particularly in personal care, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing mildness and stable foam.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for hard surface, metal, and textile cleaning due to its chelating and surfactant properties.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Serves as a specialty surfactant in chemical flooding applications to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, detergent, and metal sequestrant in dyeing and scouring processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in coolants and lubricants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and systemicity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of more complex amphoteric compounds or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a model compound or reagent in studies of surfactant behavior, micelle formation, and chelation chemistry.

Quality Control

Our n-Carboxymethyl-n-(1-Oxododecyl)Glycine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metals are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
