Description

Disodium 1-[2-(Carboxymethoxy)Ethyl]-1-(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from a substituted imidazolium structure. This compound is valued for its unique dual functionality, offering excellent surface activity alongside strong metal ion sequestration capabilities. It is primarily utilized in advanced industrial formulations requiring high-performance chelation and emulsification, such as in specialty detergents, personal care products, and specific pharmaceutical intermediates. The CAS number for this compound is 68092-44-4.

Application

• Specialty Detergent & Cleaner Formulations: Acts as a high-performance surfactant and builder, enhancing cleaning power and preventing scale formation in hard water.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers for its mildness, foaming properties, and ability to chelate metal ions that can degrade product stability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block or an excipient in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its specific ionic character.
• Industrial Metal Treatment: Functions as a chelating agent in metal cleaning, plating baths, and water treatment processes to control metal ion concentrations.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use in chemical flooding formulations to alter rock wettability and improve oil displacement.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent, dyeing auxiliary, and for metal ion control in various processing baths.
• Agricultural Formulations: Can be used as a surfactant or adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adherence.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying amphoteric surfactants, ionic liquids, and complexing agents.
