Description

Butanoic Acid, 4-Amino-4-Oxo-3-Sulfo-, n-C16-18-Alkyl Derivs., Disodium Salts is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from a sulfonated amino acid backbone with long-chain alkyl groups. This specialized chemical offers excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking stable, high-efficiency surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides superior wetting and soil suspension in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning products.
• Textile Processing: Used as a leveling agent, dispersant, and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing operations for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Utilized in soaking, dyeing, and fatliquoring stages for uniform penetration and processing.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Functions as a dispersant for pigments and as a de-inking agent in paper recycling processes.
