Description

n-[3-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylamino]Propyl]-9-Octadecenamide n-Oxide is a high-purity specialty surfactant and foam booster belonging to the class of fatty amidoamine oxides. This compound matters for formulators seeking to enhance the viscosity, foam stability, and mildness of personal care and industrial cleaning products. It is particularly needed by manufacturers of shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and hard-surface cleaners where rich, stable lather and skin compatibility are critical performance factors.

Application

• Primary Foam Booster & Stabilizer in shampoos, shower gels, and facial cleansers.
• Viscosity Modifier & Thickener for surfactant-based systems, reducing the need for salt.
• Mild Surfactant Component in baby care and sensitive skin formulations.
• Conditioning Agent that imparts a soft, smooth after-feel on hair and skin.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners for floor cleaners and all-purpose detergents requiring stable foam.
• Dishwashing Liquids, both manual and automatic, to improve sudsing and grease cutting.
