Description

n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Ethyl]Glycine Monohydrochloride is a high-purity amphoteric surfactant and chelating agent derived from glycine. This compound is valued for its excellent metal ion sequestration properties and mild surfactant characteristics, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, skin-compatible ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle surfactant and emulsifier in facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, offering enhanced mildness and foam stability.
• Metal Chelation: Serves as an effective chelating agent to sequester calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions in cosmetic and detergent formulations, preventing product instability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in specialty cleaning formulations where compatibility with sensitive surfaces and effective soil removal are required.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex amphoteric compounds and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes to improve fabric handle and processing efficiency.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
