Description

n-[3-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylamino]Propyl]-9,12-Octadecadienamide n-Oxide is a specialized fatty amide oxide surfactant derived from linoleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, conditioning, and emulsifying properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild, high-performance surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich lather and mildness on skin and hair.
• Cosmetic Products: Serves as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners to improve texture and softness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Incorporated into hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and foam cleaners for its effective detergency and foam stability.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber and fabric treatment formulations.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance coverage and efficacy.
