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.
