  • Applications

    Disodium caproamphodipropionate is an anionic amphiphilic salt that functions as a surfactant and emulsifier in a range of formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a mild cleansing agent and stabilizer for formulated emulsions. In household and industrial cleaning products, it acts as a surfactant and wetting agent to improve spreading and detergency. In coatings and inks, it serves as a dispersant and flow modifier to stabilize pigment suspensions and enhance coating uniformity. In polymer and plastics processing, it can function as a processing aid or stabilizer, helping to improve compatibility of additives and reduce agglomeration during processing. In agrochemical formulations it may be used as a dispersing or emulsifying agent to stabilize active ingredients in sprays and suspensions. Overall, its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
