Lauramidopropylamine Oxide LAO CAS 61792-31-2 – Mild and High-Performance Amphoteric Surfactant for Shampoos

BLIT Chemical, a reliable manufacturer of surfactants, Lauramidopropylamine Oxide CAS 61792-31-2 is an amphoteric surfactant widely used in personal care, household cleaning, and industrial formulations. This compound exhibits both cationic and nonionic characteristics depending on pH, giving it excellent foaming, cleaning, and thickening properties.

It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor, fully soluble in water, and highly compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants. Lauramidopropylamine Oxide provides enhanced foam stability and mildness, making it a preferred secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid detergents.

Due to its antistatic, emulsifying, and viscosity-modifying properties, it also finds use in textile and industrial cleaners. BLIT Chemical ensures high-purity Lauramidopropylamine Oxide meeting international standards, ensuring consistency, biodegradability, and environmental compliance.

Specification

Lauramidopropylamine Oxide Applications

1. Personal Care Products

Lauramidopropylamine Oxide is commonly used in shampoos, facial cleansers, and body washes due to its mildness and excellent foaming capacity. It reduces irritation caused by other surfactants and enhances viscosity and foam stability, improving user experience and sensory feel.

2. Household Cleaning Formulations

It acts as a foam booster, stabilizer, and detergent in dishwashing liquids and surface cleaners. Its dual ionic nature makes it effective in both acidic and alkaline systems, improving grease removal and rinsability.

3. Industrial and Institutional Cleaning

Used in car wash products, hard-surface cleaners, and degreasers, Lauramidopropylamine Oxide offers excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties. It improves the penetration of cleaning agents on oily or greasy surfaces.

4. Textile and Leather Processing

Functions as a wetting and antistatic agent in textile dyeing and leather finishing. Its compatibility with cationic and nonionic systems ensures flexibility in industrial applications.

5. Agriculture and Other Special Uses

Used as an emulsifier or dispersing agent in agrochemical formulations for stable, uniform blends.

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly closed.
