  • Applications

    Triethanolamine myristyl aminopropionate (CAS 61791-98-8) is used primarily as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, helping to disperse oils, stabilize emulsions, and provide conditioning properties in shampoos, body washes, and creams. It is also employed in household cleaning products as a mild surfactant and foam booster. In industrial manufacturing, it functions as a wetting and dispersing agent in coatings, inks, and polymer processing to improve compatibility and flow. It may serve as an intermediate or processing aid in formulating specialty surfactants and is sometimes evaluated as an adjuvant in agricultural pesticide formulations to enhance wetting and coverage. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
