  • Applications

    Capric dimethyl amine oxide (CAS 2605-79-0) is commonly used as a nonionic surfactant and foam booster in formulated products. In cosmetics and personal care, it provides mild cleansing and emulsification in shampoos, body washes, and conditioning products. In household cleaning products, it acts as a surfactant to improve wetting, dispersion, and foam stability. In industrial cleaning, it serves as a processing aid and stabilizer in degreasers and metalworking fluids. In coatings, it enhances wetting and dispersion of pigments and additives. In inks, it supports wetting and stabilization of formulations. In polymer formulations, it functions as an emulsifier and processing aid to promote stable emulsions. Usage is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
