Description

n-Glyceryltaurine is a high-purity specialty chemical compound, also known as N-(1,2-Dihydroxypropyl)taurine. This versatile amphoteric surfactant and biochemical intermediate is valued for its unique combination of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an effective solubilizer and stabilizer. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and advanced material sectors for formulating mild, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle, non-irritating surfactant and viscosity modifier in shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby care products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a solubilizing agent and stabilizer for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in topical and injectable preparations.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or buffer component in enzymatic studies and diagnostic reagent kits.
• Industrial Surfactants: Functions as a wetting agent and dispersant in specialty cleaning formulations and emulsion polymerization processes.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Employed in the production of functional polymers and surface coatings requiring hydrophilic modification.
