Description

Sodium n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Ethyl]Glycinate is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant derived from stearic acid and glycine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors who require mild yet effective surfactants with good skin compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key ingredient in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams for its mildness and rich lather.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in moisturizing creams, lotions, and serums as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Employed in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and vehicle wash formulations for its detergency and stability.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softener, leveling agent, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used as a wetting agent, spreader, or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Ethyl]Glycinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and active matter content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
