Description

1H-Imidazolium, 1,3-Bis(Carboxymethyl)-4, 5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-Undecyl-, Salt With α-Sulfo-ω-(Tridecyloxy) Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl) (1:2), Disodium Salt is a sophisticated amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent, engineered for high-performance applications requiring exceptional stability and compatibility. Its unique molecular structure, combining an imidazolium ring with polyether and carboxylate groups, provides superior surface activity, metal ion sequestration, and mildness. This compound is essential for formulators in industries such as personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing, where it delivers enhanced efficacy while meeting stringent environmental and safety standards.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, offering excellent foam quality and skin mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: A key component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its robust cleaning power and stability in alkaline systems.
• Textile Processing: Used as a leveling agent, detergent, and softener in dyeing and finishing processes, improving color uniformity and fabric handle.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants, protecting metal surfaces.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Employed as a surfactant in chemical flooding to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement efficiency.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, or compatibility agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Used as a dispersant and wetting agent to improve pigment stabilization and application properties.
