Description

Lauryl Dimethylamine Oxide is a high-purity, nonionic surfactant derived from tertiary amine oxide chemistry. This versatile amphoteric compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and stabilizing properties, even in the presence of electrolytes. It serves as a critical performance additive in the formulation of industrial and consumer cleaning products, personal care items, and specialty chemical processes. Global manufacturers rely on its consistent quality and compatibility to enhance product efficacy and stability.

Application

• Primary Foam Booster & Stabilizer in liquid dishwashing detergents, shampoos, and bubble baths.
• Viscosity Modifier and Coupling Agent in high-electrolyte, concentrated liquid laundry detergents and hard surface cleaners.
• Emulsifier and Dispersant in agricultural formulations and industrial processing aids.
• Anti-static and Conditioning Agent in hair care and fabric softener compositions.
• Wetting and Penetrating Agent in textile processing, paper manufacturing, and metal treatment baths.
• Stabilizing Surfactant in household and institutional cleaning products requiring high pH stability.
