Description

n-(1-Oxotetradecyl)Sarcosine is a high-purity, synthetic fatty acid sarcosine derivative, specifically the myristoyl amide of sarcosine. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, offering excellent surface activity and compatibility. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for formulating high-performance surfactants, emulsifiers, and foam boosters.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-grade anionic surfactants (acyl sarcosinates).
• Primary raw material for manufacturing mild, skin-friendly surfactants used in facial cleansers, shampoos, and shower gels.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Emulsifying agent in creams, lotions, and other emulsion-based products.
• Corrosion inhibitor component in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Functional additive in textile and leather processing chemicals.
• Intermediate for pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications requiring specific fatty acid amide structures.
