Description

Sodium n-Methyl-n-(1-Oxohexadecyl)Aminoacetate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from sarcosine and palmitic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and across a wide pH range. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating mild yet effective products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A key surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams due to its mildness and rich, stable lather.
• Cosmetic Products: Used in makeup removers, liquid soaps, and bubble baths for its gentle cleansing and skin-compatible characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in hard surface cleaners, car wash solutions, and metal cleaning formulations where foam stability is required.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing baths for fibers and fabrics.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use as a surfactant in chemical flooding to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement.
