Description

n-Dodecyl-β-Alanine, Compound With 2,2'-Iminodiethanol (1:1) is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant, specifically a betaine derivative, known for its excellent mildness and compatibility with other surfactant systems. This compound is valued for its superior foaming, thickening, and conditioning properties, even in the presence of electrolytes and hard water. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients for rinse-off and leave-on products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A key mild surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products.
• Home Care Products: Used in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for its grease-cutting ability and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for vehicle washes, food processing area cleaners, and dairy detergents due to its hard water tolerance.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Acts as a conditioning agent and viscosity modifier in liquid soaps, shaving creams, and bubble baths.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, leveling agent, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Can be utilized in drilling muds and well stimulation fluids as a compatible surfactant.
