Description

Dodecanoyl-n-Methylglucamide, n-Dodecanoyl-n-Methyl-D-Glucamine is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glucose and fatty acid sources. This compound is valued for its excellent biocompatibility, mildness, and ability to form stable micelles in aqueous solutions. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and biochemical research reagents where gentle yet effective solubilization and stabilization are required.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a mild, non-denaturing detergent for the solubilization and purification of membrane proteins without disrupting their native structure.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Acts as a solubilizing agent and stabilizer in injectable and topical drug delivery systems, enhancing the bioavailability of poorly soluble active ingredients.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a primary surfactant in mild shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its low irritation potential and skin-friendly properties.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of buffers and lysing agents for clinical diagnostic kits and cell culture applications.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Used in specialty cleaning formulations where biodegradability and low environmental impact are key requirements.
