Description

n-Undecanoyl-n-Methylglycine is a high-purity specialty surfactant and intermediate, also known as sodium lauroyl sarcosinate precursor. This compound matters for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, coupled with high biodegradability and mildness. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating gentle cleansers, shampoos, and topical applications.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for the synthesis of Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, a premium-grade surfactant.
• Personal Care Formulations such as mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and baby shampoos.
• Cosmetic Products including makeup removers and conditioning shampoos that require gentle yet effective cleansing.
• Topical Pharmaceutical Preparations where mild surfactants are needed for medicated washes or creams.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners for formulations requiring high-foaming, biodegradable components.
• Research & Development as a key raw material for studying novel amphoteric surfactants and their properties.
