Amine oxides, C12-14-alkyldimethyl

Amine oxides, C12-14-alkyldimethyl (CAS 308062-28-4) are amphoteric surfactants derived from coconut-chain fatty amines.

Where is Amine oxides, C12-14-alkyldimethyl used?

• Detergent and personal care formulations: foam boosters, viscosity builders, conditioning agents
• Household and industrial cleaning: foam stabilization and enhancement in dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, all-purpose detergents, plus improved soil suspension
• Shampoos and body washes: lather boost and viscosity increase
• Textile processing: emulsification and fiber lubrication during wet finishing; antistatic effect and fiber softening in textile finishing
• Industrial degreasers and janitorial concentrates: compatibility with anionic surfactants boosts cleaning performance
• Paper production: foam control and surface-active balance management
