Description

1-(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium is a high-purity, amphoteric imidazolium-based compound, valued for its unique surfactant and chelating properties. This chemical is essential for formulating advanced products requiring excellent wetting, emulsification, and metal ion sequestration. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, metalworking fluids, and specialty detergent industries for its multifunctional performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin creams.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softener, leveling agent, and dyeing assistant to improve fabric handle and color uniformity.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity enhancer in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key component in hard surface cleaners and degreasers for its superior wetting and soil suspension.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and completion fluids as a clay stabilizer and viscosity modifier.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an adjuvant to improve the spreading and absorption of pesticides and herbicides.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Acts as a debonding agent and dispersant in paper coating and recycling processes.
