Description

Disodium 2,2'-[(Octylimino)Bis[(1-Oxopropane-3,1-Diyl)Imino]]Bis[2-Methylpropanesulphonate] is a high-performance, amphoteric surfactant and complexing agent known for its excellent stability and compatibility across a wide pH range. Its core value lies in its ability to effectively sequester metal ions and function as a dispersant, enhancing the performance and stability of formulations. This compound is essential for manufacturers in industries such as personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and water treatment who require reliable chelation and surface activity.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a gentle yet effective chelating agent and surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers to improve foam stability and sequester water hardness ions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for its superior metal ion control, preventing scale formation and improving surfactant efficacy.
• Textile Auxiliary: Serves as a dispersing and leveling agent in dyeing processes, and as a chelant in peroxide bleaching baths to stabilize activators and protect fibers.
• Water Treatment: Employed as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in cooling water and boiler water systems by effectively binding calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and stabilizer, improving color development and preventing flocculation in aqueous coating systems.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use in chemical flooding formulations due to its thermal stability and ability to modify interfacial tension.

Quality Control

Our production of Disodium 2,2'-[(Octylimino)Bis[(1-Oxopropane-3,1-Diyl)Imino]]Bis[2-Methylpropanesulphonate] adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and moisture content are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for our B2B partners.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
