Description

n-[3-[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]Propyl]Myristamide is a high-purity specialty amide surfactant derived from myristic acid. This compound matters for its unique combination of emulsifying, conditioning, and foam-boosting properties, making it a versatile intermediate for demanding formulations. Industries requiring high-performance surfactants, such as personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning, will find this product essential for creating stable and effective end-products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams, providing a soft, smooth feel.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and hard-surface cleaners, offering excellent detergency and foam stability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener and lubricant in fiber treatment and finishing processes to improve fabric handle.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Employed as a dispersing agent and flow promoter to improve pigment wetting and film formation.
