Description

Disodium 1-[2-(2-Carboxyethoxy)Ethyl]-1-(2-Carboxyethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-2-Undecyl-1H-Imidazolium Hydroxide is a high-purity, specialty imidazolium-based surfactant and chelating agent, valued for its unique amphoteric structure and excellent metal ion sequestration properties. This compound is critical for formulations requiring superior surface activity, emulsification, and complexation stability under demanding conditions. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical sectors seeking advanced performance additives.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers, providing enhanced foam stability and skin feel.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and alkaline detergents for its emulsifying and chelating power against hard water ions.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes to improve wetting, level dyeing, and removal of metal impurities from fibers.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as a compatibilizer and stabilizer in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing the solubility and efficacy of active ingredients.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and completion fluids as a corrosion inhibitor and scale control additive.
• Metal Surface Treatment: Utilized in pickling and plating baths to complex interfering metal ions and improve surface quality.
