  • Applications

    Myristic acid diethanolamide (CAS 7545-23-5) is a nonionic surfactant commonly used as a foam stabilizer and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care formulations; it also functions as a surfactant, wetting agent, and thickener in household cleaners and detergents, and as a wetting and dispersing agent in coatings and inks; in industrial manufacturing and polymer systems it can act as an emulsifier for polymer dispersions and as an additive in adhesives and latex formulations.
