  • Applications

    Triethanolamine lauroyl glutamate (CAS 53576-49-1) is commonly used as a mild surfactant and cleansing/emulsifying agent in cosmetics and personal care products, providing gentle cleansing and skin conditioning in cleansers, shampoos, and creams; it also serves as an emulsifier and foam booster in household cleaning formulations; in pharmaceutical formulations it can function as an excipient, solubilizer, and emulsifier; in polymer, plastics, and coatings applications it acts as an emulsifier/surfactant to stabilize emulsions, improve wetting, and aid dispersion; and in broader industrial manufacturing it serves as a processing aid and surfactant in formulated products such as cleaners, lubricants, and specialty coatings.
