Description

Sodium n-Tetradecyl-β-Alaninate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from the amino acid β-alanine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and foaming properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, personal care products, and specialized chemical synthesis. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable performance for demanding B2B applications.

Application

• Primary surfactant and foaming agent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations.
• Key ingredient in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and shaving foams for its mildness and lather quality.
• Emulsifier and dispersant in agrochemical formulations for pesticides and herbicides.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty surfactants and betaine derivatives.
• Additive in textile processing aids for scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Component in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants for its surface-active properties.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-Tetradecyl-β-Alaninate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
