Sodium lauriminodipropionate

Sodium Lauriminodipropionate (CAS 14960-06-6) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from lauric acid, commercially available under trade names including Deriphat 106C, Mackam DP-122, Tensan VS, Amphosol 160C-30, and Mirataine H2C-HA. It carries both anionic and cationic character depending on pH, giving it compatibility across a broad range of formulation systems.

In personal care formulations, it functions as a mild secondary surfactant that reduces the irritation potential of primary anionic surfactants by moderating their interaction with skin proteins. In water treatment, it acts as a dispersant and wetting agent, lowering interfacial tension to improve soil and contaminant removal from surfaces at low use concentrations.

Sodium Lauriminodipropionate is supplied as an aqueous solution and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Procurement teams should confirm active matter content and pH specification with the supplier, as these vary between grades. Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs.
