Description

N,n-Dimethyl-1-Methyldodecylamine Oxide is a high-purity tertiary amine oxide surfactant valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties. This compound is a critical performance additive in formulations requiring mildness and stability across a wide pH range. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance product efficacy and sensory profile.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for a rich, stable lather.
• Home Care Products: Key ingredient in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in floor cleaners, vehicle wash systems, and food processing sanitizers for effective cleaning and foam control.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a leveling agent, softener, and antistatic agent in fabric treatment and dyeing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent and spreader to improve the coverage and absorption of pesticides and herbicides.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a stabilizer and co-emulsifier in the production of latex polymers and acrylics.
