  • Applications

    N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)decanamide (CAS 136-26-5) is used in cosmetics and personal care as a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier, helping to form foam and stabilize emulsions while acting as a conditioning agent in hair and skin formulations. In household and industrial cleaners, it serves as a surfactant and foam stabilizer for detergents and industrial solvents. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other diethanolamide surfactants and can function as a surface-active processing aid in polymer formulations and coatings to improve wetting and compatibility. Additionally, it may be used as a surface-treating additive in polymer and coating systems.
