  • Applications

    Known as an amphoteric surfactant and emulsifier, Sodium N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(2-((1-oxododecyl)amino)ethyl)-beta-alaninate (CAS 61901-01-7) is commonly used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations to provide mild cleansing, stabilize emulsions, and improve skin feel; it also serves as a surfactant, wetting agent, and dispersant in household cleaners and industrial detergents, in polymer processing to stabilize emulsions and aid mixing, and as a surface-active additive in coatings and inks to improve wetting and color uniformity. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
