Description

1-Dodecanaminium, n-(Carboxymethyl)-N,n-Dimethyl-, Sodium Salt is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant and betaine derivative, valued for its excellent mildness, stability, and compatibility with other ionic species. This compound is essential for formulators requiring superior foam quality, viscosity enhancement, and skin compatibility in demanding applications. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: As a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its mildness and conditioning properties.
• Home Care Products: Used in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners to boost foam stability and viscosity.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Incorporated into high-performance floor cleaners, vehicle wash solutions, and food processing sanitizers for its detergency and compatibility with harsh electrolytes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Acts as a foaming agent, corrosion inhibitor, or viscoelastic surfactant in drilling and stimulation fluids.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, leveling agent, or dyeing assistant due to its amphoteric nature.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used to enhance the spreading and sticking properties of pesticide and herbicide formulations.
