Description

n-[3-(Dodecylamino)Propyl]Glycine is a specialized amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine with a long-chain alkylamino substituent. This unique structure provides excellent surface activity, metal ion sequestration, and compatibility across a wide pH range, making it a valuable multifunctional additive. It is primarily sought by formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and metalworking fluid industries for its ability to enhance performance, stability, and mildness in complex formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers, offering enhanced foam stability and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its superior wetting, emulsification, and soil suspension properties.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in coolants and cutting fluids by chelating metal ions that can catalyze degradation and rancidity.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a leveling agent, softener, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes to improve uniformity and handle of fabrics and hides.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals for its dispersant and scale inhibition characteristics.
• Agricultural Formulations: Enhances the stability and efficacy of pesticide and herbicide concentrates as a compatibilizer and surfactant.
