Description

n-[2-[(2-Aminoethyl)Dodecylamino]Ethyl]Glycine is a specialized amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent, valued for its unique molecular structure that combines a long alkyl chain with amino and glycine functionalities. This compound is engineered to provide excellent surface activity, metal ion sequestration, and compatibility across a wide pH range, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. Key industries that rely on this chemical include personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and water treatment, where it acts as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and complexing agent.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a mild surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers, offering foam stability and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its emulsifying and chelating power against hard water ions.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in dyeing and finishing processes as a leveling agent, softener, and metal ion scavenger to improve color fastness and fabric handle.
• Water Treatment Chemicals: Acts as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in cooling water and boiler systems by sequestering calcium, magnesium, and other metal cations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Agricultural Formulations: Utilized as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and system stability.
