Description

Ammonium n-Methyl-n-(1-Oxohexadecyl)Aminoacetate is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and conditioning agent derived from fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and substantive properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and stability. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for its ability to enhance product performance and skin feel.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary surfactant and conditioner in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Cosmetic Products: Serves as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in lotions, creams, and makeup removers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a foaming and wetting agent in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and car wash solutions.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatment and finishing baths.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
