Description

Sodium n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-[(1-Oxotetradecyl)Amino]Ethyl]Glycinate is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine. This compound is valued for its excellent compatibility with other surfactants, low irritation profile, and effective metal ion sequestration properties. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors. Its unique structure provides stable foam, good detergency, and mildness, making it a versatile ingredient for high-performance formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key mild surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, metal cleaning solutions, and dairy detergents due to its chelating power and stability.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, detergent, and metal ion control agent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use in surfactant-polymer flooding formulations to reduce interfacial tension.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading, wetting, and system compatibility.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-[(1-Oxotetradecyl)Amino]Ethyl]Glycinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, active matter content, pH, and chloride/sodium chloride levels are provided and available upon request, ensuring full traceability and compliance for your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or changes in concentration.
