Lauramidopropylamine oxide

Lauramidopropylamine oxide (CAS 61792-31-2) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from lauric acid; it functions as a foam booster, viscosity modifier and conditioning agent.

Where is Lauramidopropylamine oxide used?

• Shampoos, body washes and liquid hand soaps: boosts and stabilizes foam while improving the sensory feel of the rinse
• Household and industrial cleaners: enhances foam density and extends foam persistence in spray, gel and concentrate formats
• Fabric softeners and textile processing: aids surface wetting and improves deposition of conditioning actives
• Paper and leather processing: supports uniform coating or treatment penetration
• It modifies surface tension across fiber substrates and industrial materials.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, active content commonly around 30–35%
• Packaging ranges from drums to IBC totes
