  • Applications

    Lauryldimethylbetaine (CAS 683-10-3) is a zwitterionic betaine surfactant commonly used as a mild cleansing surfactant and foam booster in cosmetics and personal care formulations (shampoos, cleansers, body washes); as a surfactant and dispersant in household cleaners; as an emulsifier and processing aid in polymer latex and emulsion systems; and as a wetting, dispersing, and leveling agent in coatings and inks.
