Description

Sodium n-Methyl-n-(1-Oxooctadecyl)Aminoacetate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from stearic acid and sarcosine. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and acidic conditions. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking mild yet effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in mild shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, and shaving creams due to its gentle nature and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Key component in hard surface cleaners, metal degreasers, and floor care formulations where stability in acidic environments is required.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and detergent in dyeing and scouring processes for natural and synthetic fibers.
• Leather Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring agent and emulsifier in leather tanning and finishing to improve softness and quality.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and well stimulation fluids as a foaming agent and corrosion inhibitor.
