Description

Disodium 1,3-Bis(Carboxymethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium Dihydroxide is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from a long-chain imidazolium structure. This compound matters for its unique dual functionality, offering excellent metal ion sequestration alongside superior surface-active properties in demanding formulations. Industrial buyers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty cleaning sectors need it to enhance product stability, improve detergency, and provide mildness in applications where traditional surfactants may fall short.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing rich lather and skin compatibility.
• Textile Auxiliary Agent: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes to improve wetting, level dyeing, and metal ion control in fiber treatment baths.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Enhances the performance of hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and dairy cleaners by boosting soil removal and sequestering water hardness ions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants, protecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated as a specialty surfactant for chemical flooding to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement in reservoir formations.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading, sticking, and overall efficacy on plant surfaces.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
