  • Applications

    Chemical name: Aspartic acid, N-dodecyl- (CAS 31262-66-5) is primarily used as a surfactant and emulsifier, where the hydrophobic dodecyl chain provides surface activity while the aspartate moiety offers hydrophilicity and ionizable functionality. In industrial manufacturing it can function as a wetting and dispersing agent in cleaners, detergents, and coatings; in cosmetics and personal care as a mild surfactant and cleansing ingredient; in polymer and plastics processing as a dispersant or coupling agent to improve formulation stability; in textile and pulp processing as a surfactant and wetting aid; and in agrochemical formulations as an adjuvant or formulation aid. It can also serve as a precursor or building block for surfactant-based polymers or poly(aspartate) derivatives, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
