Description

Sodium Dihydroxyethyl Glycinate is a high-purity, versatile amino acid-based chelating agent and surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent sequestering power for heavy metal ions and its mild, skin-friendly properties, making it a superior alternative to harsher chelants. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors who require effective, biodegradable, and non-irritating ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key chelating agent and surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and creams to enhance stability and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used in liquid detergents and hard surface cleaners for its metal ion control and surfactant properties.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a chelant in dyeing and finishing baths to prevent metal-ion interference and improve color fastness.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed in certain pesticide and fertilizer solutions to improve stability and compatibility.
• Metal Treatment & Plating: Functions as a complexing agent in solutions for surface treatment and electroplating processes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block or stabilizing agent in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dihydroxyethyl Glycinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, pH, and heavy metal content to guarantee consistency and reliability for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect quality.
