Description

n-[3-[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]Propyl]Dodecanamide is a specialty amidoamine surfactant and conditioning agent derived from lauric acid. This compound matters for its unique combination of a long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a hydrophilic, tertiary amine-based polar head group with terminal hydroxyls, offering excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antistatic properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking high-performance, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a substantive conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams and lotions as an emulsifier and emollient, enhancing skin feel and product stability.
• Textile Softeners & Antistatic Agents: Imparts a soft, smooth hand feel to fabrics and reduces static cling during processing and wear.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Serves as a component in specialty emulsifiers for lubricants, metalworking fluids, and agrochemical formulations.
• Cosmetic Color Cosmetics: Functions as a pigment dispersant and binder in makeup products, improving color payoff and wear.
• Fabric Care Products: Incorporated into liquid laundry detergents and softeners for enhanced fabric care benefits.
