Description

Disodium 1,1-Bis(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from imidazoline chemistry. This compound is valued for its excellent metal ion sequestration, surface activity, and compatibility across a wide pH range, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily sought by formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries for its multifunctional properties.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild surfactant, conditioning agent, and stabilizer in shampoos, liquid soaps, and skin cleansers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key chelant and surfactant in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations, enhancing soil removal and stability.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softening agent, dye-leveling agent, and metal ion scavenger in fabric treatment and dyeing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in coolants and drawing compounds.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a scale inhibitor and surfactant in production chemicals for enhanced oil recovery.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving wetting, spreading, and absorption.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or degradation.
