Description

n-Dodecyl-N,n-Dimethylglycine is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant and betaine derivative. This compound is valued for its excellent mildness, stability across a wide pH range, and superior compatibility with other surfactants, making it a critical performance ingredient. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial formulation sectors for its foam-boosting, viscosity-modifying, and skin-friendly properties.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its low irritation profile.
• Home Care Products: Incorporated into dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and laundry detergents to enhance foam stability and cleaning efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in formulations for vehicle wash, food processing plant sanitation, and other demanding cleaning applications.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Functions as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and other leave-on products.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids as a foaming agent and viscosity modifier.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, leveling agent, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes.
