Core Performance Features

Extremely Low Irritation

Amphoteric structure significantly reduces the irritation of anionic surfactants (such as AES, SLS), making it ideal for sensitive skin, baby, and children's formulas.

High Foaming & Stable Foam

Produces rich, fine, and long-lasting foam. Offers dual benefits of foam boosting and stabilizing, outperforming conventional betaines.

Synergistic Thickening

Provides notable thickening effects in AES and soap-based systems, improving the viscosity and stability of the formulation.

Excellent Hard Water Resistance

Strong resistance to calcium and magnesium ions, maintaining high efficiency even in hard water or seawater environments.

Multifunctional

Combines cleansing, emulsifying, dispersing, antistatic, conditioning, and corrosion inhibition properties.

Application Areas

1. Daily Chemical & Personal Care

  • Personal care products: High-end shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand soaps.
  • Baby care: Dedicated baby care products (low irritation, mild).
  • Specialized care: Sensitive skin care, foam cleansers, and conditioners (providing antistatic and smoothing benefits).

2. Industrial & Oilfield

  • Oilfield applications: EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) additives, heavy oil viscosity reduction, fracturing fluids, and acidizing fluids.
  • Industrial cleaning: Metal rust prevention, hard water cleaning agents, and food equipment cleaning.

3. Others

  • Textile: Antistatic and softening finishes.
  • Coatings / Emulsions: Emulsification, dispersion, and stabilization.
