Description

n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Decyl-D-Gluconamide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and complexing agent derived from D-gluconic acid. This compound matters for its unique combination of a hydrophilic gluconamide head group and a hydrophobic decyl chain, offering excellent surface activity, biodegradability, and metal-chelating properties. It is needed by formulators and researchers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild, effective, and environmentally considerate ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild, non-irritating surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as a wetting agent, spreader, or compatibility agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in hard surface cleaners and degreasers for its detergency and metal ion sequestration.
• Metal Treatment & Plating: Functions as a complexing agent in metal cleaning, pickling, and electroplating baths to control metal ions.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, or softener component due to its surface-active properties.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a biochemical tool or building block for synthesizing more complex sugar-based amphiphiles and dendrimers.
