Description

n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Octadecyl-D-Gluconamide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and conditioning agent derived from D-gluconic acid and a long-chain alkyl amine. This compound matters for formulators seeking advanced, multifunctional ingredients that provide excellent emulsification, conditioning, and surface-modifying properties in demanding applications. It is particularly needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for creating high-performance hair conditioners, skin creams, and fabric softeners.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a primary cationic conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability.
• Skin Care & Cosmetics: Used in creams, lotions, and serums as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, enhancing texture and product stability.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft, smooth hand feel to fabrics and acts as an antistatic agent in textile finishing processes.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Serves as a component in specialty surfactant systems for industrial cleaning, agrochemicals, and emulsion polymerization.
• Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Aids: Investigated for use in drug delivery systems and as a biocompatible excipient due to its derivatization from sugar and fatty acids.

Quality Control

Our n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Octadecyl-D-Gluconamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for cosmetic and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
