  • Applications

    Dipotassium Undecylenoyl Glutamate (CAS 280576-97-8) is a mild, amino‑acid‑derived anionic surfactant commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as a cleansing agent, foaming aid, and emulsifier, with potential conditioning benefits in skin and hair care formulations. It is also used in household cleaners and other cleaning products as a surfactant to improve cleaning performance. In polymer and plastics processing, it can serve as an emulsifier or processing aid to stabilize emulsions and formulations. In coatings and inks, it acts as a wetting agent and dispersant to improve pigment dispersion. In pharmaceutical topical formulations, it may be used as an excipient and surfactant to assist solubilization of active ingredients. It is commonly evaluated for use as a specialty surfactant in various industrial manufacturing and formulation contexts.
