Description

n-[3-(Dodecylamino)Propyl]Glycine Hydrochloride is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine. This compound is valued for its unique combination of surface-active properties and metal ion sequestration capabilities, making it a versatile functional additive. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance industrial cleaners, personal care products, and specialized chemical synthesis where mildness and complexing power are required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a surfactant and chelating agent in alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for hard surface and metal cleaning.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a mild amphoteric surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, offering good compatibility with skin and other surfactants.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a leveling agent, detergent, and metal ion controller in dyeing and scouring baths to improve color uniformity and fabric quality.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and completion fluids as a corrosion inhibitor and scale control additive due to its chelating properties.
• Agriculture: Functions as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance wetting, spreading, and systemic activity.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as an intermediate or a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly for reactions requiring amphoteric character.

Quality Control

Our n-[3-(Dodecylamino)Propyl]Glycine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, chloride content, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
