Description

β-Alanine, n-Coco Alkyl Derivs., Sodium Salts is a specialized amphoteric surfactant derived from the amino acid β-alanine and coconut fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent mildness, foam stability, and compatibility with other surfactant systems, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors for its superior performance in skin-friendly and high-foaming applications.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A key surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and shaving foams due to its low irritation potential.
• Baby Care Products: Used in formulations for baby shampoos and bath products where extreme mildness is required.
• High-Performance Detergents: Incorporated into liquid hand soaps, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners for its rich, stable foam and grease-cutting ability.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Serves as a foaming and cleansing agent in makeup removers, cleansing milks, and bubble baths.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Applied in formulations for vehicle wash, food processing plant cleaners, and other industrial detergents requiring high foam and compatibility with alkaline builders.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and softener in various processing baths.
