Description

n-[3-(Isotridecyloxy)Propyl]-β-Alanine is a specialized surfactant intermediate featuring a unique branched isotridecyl chain linked to a β-alanine head group. This molecular structure is engineered to provide excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and surface-modifying properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, low-foam additives with good compatibility in various systems.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance, mild betaine surfactants for personal care products like shampoos and body washes.
• Used in the formulation of industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners and degreasers, where its wetting and emulsifying power is valuable.
• Acts as a dispersing and grinding aid in pigment preparations and coating systems to improve color development and stability.
• Employed as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids and lubricant additives.
• Serves as a component in textile auxiliaries for processes such as scouring, dyeing, and softening.
• Utilized in the production of agricultural adjuvants to enhance the spreading and efficacy of pesticides and herbicides.
