Description

n-[3-(Octylamino)Propyl]-D-Gluconamide is a specialty surfactant and complexing agent derived from gluconic acid and a fatty amine. This compound matters for its unique combination of excellent surfactant properties, biodegradability, and metal-chelating capabilities derived from its carbohydrate head group. Industries that need it include personal care, agrochemicals, and industrial cleaning, where it functions as a gentle yet effective emulsifier, solubilizer, and stabilizer.

Application

• As a gentle surfactant and emulsifier in high-end personal care formulations such as shampoos, conditioners, and skin cleansers.
• As a solubilizing and stabilizing agent in agrochemical formulations for pesticides and herbicides.
• As a biodegradable complexing agent in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• As a mild foaming and wetting agent in applications requiring low skin and eye irritation.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and metal sequestrant in water treatment and metalworking fluids.
• As a component in specialty polymer synthesis and as a functional additive in coatings.

Quality Control

Our n-[3-(Octylamino)Propyl]-D-Gluconamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and performance consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters 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 place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize moisture absorption, which can affect product quality.
