  • Applications

    beta-Alanine, N-dodecyl- is an amphiphilic derivative with a long hydrophobic alkyl tail and a beta-alanine moiety, and can function as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics/personal care and household cleaning products; it can act as a wetting and dispersing agent in coatings and inks; it may be used as a polymer/plastic additive or compatibilizer to improve blend and dispersion; it is often evaluated as a formulation adjuvant in agrochemical formulations to enhance the performance of pesticides; and it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex surfactants or other building blocks for pharmaceutical or chemical applications.
