Description

n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Tetradecyl-D-Gluconamide is a specialized, non-ionic surfactant and complexing agent derived from D-gluconic acid. This unique amphiphilic structure, featuring a hydrophilic gluconamide head and a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, provides excellent surface activity, metal chelation, and mild conditioning properties. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance personal care products, industrial cleaning systems, and as a functional intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis where mildness and biodegradability are key requirements.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes, and skin creams, offering enhanced foam stability and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for hard surface cleaners, where it provides wetting, soil suspension, and metal ion sequestration.
• Metal Treatment & Plating: Functions as a complexing agent in metal cleaning, pickling, and electroplating baths to control metal ions and improve surface finish.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a softening agent, lubricant, and dye-leveling auxiliary in textile and leather treatment processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as a corrosion inhibitor and scale control additive.
