Description

Sodium-n-Coconut Acid n-Methyl Taurate CAS NO 61791-42-2 is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and methyl taurine. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and across a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care and home care industries seeking mild yet effective surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A primary surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, body washes, and shampoos, particularly for sensitive skin formulations.
• Cosmetic Products: Used in shaving foams, bubble baths, and liquid soaps for its rich, stable lather and skin compatibility.
• Home Care & Detergents: An effective component in hand dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and fine fabric detergents due to its grease-cutting ability and biodegradability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for car wash shampoos, food surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers.
• Foam Booster & Stabilizer: Acts as a secondary surfactant to enhance and stabilize foam in various surfactant blends.
