Description

Betaines, Bis(Hydroxyethyl)Tallow Alkyl is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant derived from natural tallow fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent mildness, foam-boosting properties, and compatibility with a wide range of other surfactants and ingredients. It is primarily used by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, skin-friendly, and biodegradable ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A key ingredient in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its exceptional skin and eye mildness.
• Home Care Products: Used in premium liquid dish soaps, hand soaps, and all-purpose cleaners for its superior foaming and viscosity-building characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Employed in formulations for vehicle wash, food service cleaners, and industrial degreasers where high foam and compatibility with harsh electrolytes are required.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Functions as a conditioning and antistatic agent in hair conditioners and styling products.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Acts as a foaming agent, viscosity modifier, and corrosion inhibitor in various drilling and stimulation fluid formulations.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, leveling agent, and dyeing assistant in textile auxiliaries and leather finishing products.
