Description

n-[3-(Dodecylamino)Propyl]-D-Gluconamide is a specialty surfactant and complexing agent derived from D-gluconic acid and a long-chain alkylamine. This compound matters for its unique combination of non-ionic surfactant properties with excellent metal-chelating and mild conditioning effects. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and metal treatment industries seeking biodegradable and skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and skin-conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for its surfactant and sequestering power, particularly effective on hard water ions.
• Metal Surface Treatment: Serves as a chelating agent and corrosion inhibitor in metal cleaning, plating, and phosphating baths.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dye-leveling agent in textile processing.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and sticking properties.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a dispersant and chelant in bleaching processes and paper coating formulations.
