Description

1-Propanaminium, 3-Amino-n-(Carboxymethyl)-N,n-Dimethyl-, n-C8-22 Acyl Derivs., Hydroxides, Inner Salts is a high-performance amphoteric surfactant belonging to the betaine class, known for its excellent compatibility and mildness. This compound is valued for its superior foaming, thickening, and conditioning properties, even in the presence of electrolytes and over a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking stable, high-performance, and skin-friendly formulations.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Primary surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its mildness and compatibility with anionic surfactants.
• Home Care & Industrial Cleaning: Key component in hard surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and industrial degreasers for its excellent detergency, foam stability, and viscosity-building characteristics.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used in conditioning shampoos, creamy conditioners, and shaving creams as a thickener and antistatic agent to improve hair manageability and skin feel.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Serves as a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) in fracturing fluids and other well stimulation applications for its ability to gel in brines.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, leveling agent, and dyeing assistant, providing excellent lubrication and antistatic effects on fibers.
• Industrial Emulsification: Effective emulsifier for agricultural formulations, metalworking fluids, and polymer emulsions, offering stability in challenging conditions.
