The Structure of Decyl Acid Amido Propyl Betaine

General Information

  • Product Name: Decyl Acid Amido Propyl Betaine
  • Catalog: SUR-AM-004
  • Applications: Shampoo, hand wash, body wash, facial cleansers and shaving products, fire-fighting foaming agents, bubble solutions, others

Introduction

Decyl acid amido propyl betaine (DAB) is an advanced amphoteric surfactant notable for its mildness and versatile applications. Its unique chemical structure allows it to interact synergistically with a variety of surfactants, making it a valuable component in formulating products that require superior foaming, stability, and minimal irritation.

Characteristics

DAB exhibits several key characteristics that distinguish it from other surfactants.

  • Mild Surfactant: It is a mild surfactant, causing low irritation to the skin and eyes.
  • Compatibility: This surfactant demonstrates excellent solubility and compatibility with other surfactants, including cationic, anionic, and nonionic types.
  • Foaming Ability: It produces fine, stable, and rich foam, which is essential for products like shampoos, body washes, and bubble baths. Notably, its salt-tolerant foaming capability surpasses traditional surfactants.
  • Environmental and Health Safety: Made from pure natural oils, this surfactant is free from harmful PFOA/PFOS compounds. It is non-toxic and 100% biodegradable, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable chemical products.
  • Functional Benefits in Acidic Conditions: Under slightly acidic conditions, DAB exhibits cationic surfactant properties, providing additional benefits such as softness, conditioning, anti-static, and bactericidal effects.
  • Resistance Properties: It offers good resistance to hard water and maintains its efficacy, ensuring consistent performance in various water conditions.
