  • Applications

    Behenamine oxide, CAS 26483-35-2, is an amine-oxide surfactant derived from a behenyl (C22) alkyl chain, typically used as a surfactant and emulsifier in various formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it is commonly included in shampoos and cleansers to improve foaming, emulsification, and formulation stability. In household cleaning products, it serves as a surfactant and wetting agent that enhances cleaning efficacy. In polymers/plastics and coatings/inks, it acts as a pigment dispersant, wetting agent, and processing aid to improve dispersion and substrate wetting. In adhesives and sealants, it can function as a surfactant to enhance wetting and adhesion to substrates. In industrial manufacturing and emulsions, it is used as a nonionic/amphoteric surfactant to stabilize emulsions and as a processing aid in various media.
