  • Applications

    beta-Alanine, N-tetradecyl- (CAS 14960-08-8) is an amphiphilic amino-acid derivative used as a specialty surfactant and formulation aid. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning component in cleansers and rinse-off products. In household cleaning and industrial formulations, it acts as a wetting agent and dispersant to improve cleaning performance and formulation stability. It is also employed as an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty surfactants and polymer additives used in coatings and inks to enhance wetting, dispersion, and compatibility. In polymer and plastics processing, it can serve as a functionalized feedstock or building block for specialty surface-active additives. In agriculture, it may be used as an emulsifier or adjuvant to improve the delivery of agrochemicals in spray formulations.
