Amphoteric Surfactant

 Amphoteric surfactants are surfactants that contain both an anionic hydrophilic group and a cationic hydrophilic group in the same molecule. The most important feature is that it can both give and receive protons. It has the following characteristics: excellent softness and smoothness and antistatic properties for fabric; certain degree of bactericidal and anti-mildew function; good emulsifying and dispersing properties. It is a mild surfactant. Amphoteric surfactants differ from single anionic and cationic surfactants in that both acidic and basic groups exist at one end of the molecule. Most of the acidic groups are carboxyl, sulfonic or phosphoric acid groups, and the basic groups are amine groups or quaternary ammonium groups. They can be compounded with anionic and nonionic surfactants and are resistant to acids, alkalis, salts and alkaline earth metal salts.

 

Amphoteric Surfactant List

 

Cocamido Propyl Betaine (CAB-35)

Chemical Formula: C19H38N20

CAS No.: 61789-40-0

Dangerous Grade: Non-dangerous

 

Cocamido Propyl Hydroxyl Sultaine (CHSB-35)

Chemical Formula: C20H42N2O5S

CAS No.: 68139-30-0

Dangerous Grade: Non-dangerous

 

The lecithin in the egg yolk is a natural amphoteric surfactant. Nowadays, artificial amphoteric surfactants are commonly used, and the anion part thereof is mostly a carboxylic acid group, and a few are a sulfonic acid group. Most of its cations are amine salts or quaternary ammonium salts. Ammonium salts constitute the amino acid type, and quaternary ammonium salts form the betaine type.

 

Amphoteric surfactants can be effectively applied to mild, biodegradable and highly efficient home or industrial utility cleaning formulations, and any application of amphoteric surfactants has a lot to do with synergy. The mildness and moderate cleanliness of the amphoteric surfactants are better than conventional soaps and can, therefore, be used well in hand sanitizers. Its stability at high pH values is very beneficial for its use in metal cleaning. Amphoteric surfactants are used in other industrial cleaning agents such as high-pressure cleaners, traffic fouling removers and foam cleaners as ome of the dirt cannot be completely removed by mechanical flushing. Nonionic surfactants are commonly used as penetrants and lubricants in such cleaners. They do not interact directly with normal soiled membranes, but it is possible that a synergistic effect occurs.

 

Now the price of amphoteric detergents is reasonable, if you have needs, please contact us.

Difference Between Sulfate And Sulfonate In Shampoo

  Sulfates and sulfonates have two things in common. First, they're all anionic surfactants. Second, they are often used for personal care applications. But there are many differences. They have different molecular mechanisms. They have different functions and they have different raw materials.   Sulfates Sulfate is a compound. It has carbon bonds and oxygen and sulfur bonds. They include substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.   At low pH, these substances plus the c-o-s bond hydrolyze to produce alcohol and inorganic sulfate. At a high pH, sulfate is stable in the base and, if ethoxylated to a relatively high level, produces a low-foaming alkali-soluble surfactant. Sulphates can be prepared by reaction of fatty alcohol or fatty alcohol ethoxylates with reagents such as SO3 or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA).   The reason shampoo becomes thick foam in the shower is that it contains sulfate. Most shampoos and household cleansers contain su...

Two Different Types of Anionic Surfactants

  Anionic surfactant is a kind of product with the longest history, the largest output and the most varieties among surfactants. According to the structure of hydrophilic groups, anionic surfactants can be divided into sulfonates and sulfates, which are the main categories of anionic surfactants.    The  anionic surfactants definition  is a must-known concept for many people working in the chemical industry. The various functions of surfactants are mainly manifested in changing the properties of the liquid surface, liquid-liquid interface and liquid-solid interface, of which the surface (interface) of the liquid is the most important.   Sulfate-type anionic surfactants mainly include fatty alcohol sulfate (also known as primary alkyl sulfate) and secondary alkyl sulfate ： 1.  Fatty alcohol sulfate (ester) salt (FAS or AS). The general formula of fatty alcohol sulfate is: ROS0-3M+, R is alkyl, M+ is sodium, potassium, ammonium, ethanolamine and other ca...

The Application of Glycolic Acid in the Cosmetics Industry

  In the salon, the beautician first cleans and rinses the skin area to be treated, and then applies the glycolic acid solution or gel with fingertips or cotton tips or brushes. When treating the face, leave the solution / gel in place for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off with gauze dipped in cold water. Occasionally, use the solution / gel a second time and leave it in place for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. Hand, foot and other body parts are treated similarly.   According to industry sources, products applied to body parts other than the face are usually washed off after about 15 minutes. The end of the treatment is to apply moisturizing cream, which usually contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15. A typical course of treatment includes 6-10 peels over 4-6 weeks.   When using at home, lotions, gels, lotions and creams are applied once or twice daily with fingertips or small cotton balls. Scrubs, that is, lotions or creams containing polished particles, rub the skin wit...
