Surfactant refers to a fixed hydrophilic and lipophilic group. Substances that can be oriented and arranged on the surface of a solution and can significantly reduce the surface tension.
According to the supply of lauric acid: lauric acid is widely used in the manufacture of various types of surfactants, such as cationic surfactants such as laurylamine, lauryl nitrile, and trisulfide. Lauryl amine, lauryl dimethylamine, lauryl trimethyl ammonium salt, etc.; anionic types include sodium lauryl sulfate, lauric acid sulfate salt, lauryl sulfate triethanol ammonium salt, etc.; zwitterionic types include lauryl betaine , imidazoline laurate, etc.; non-ionic surfactants include poly-L-alcohol monolaurate, polyoxyethylene laurate, glyceryl laurate polyoxyethylene ether, lauric acid diethanolamide, etc.
Let’s take a closer look at the advantages and uses of imidazoline laurate:
Lauric imidazoline amphoteric surfactant is an important type of surfactant and plays an important role in the surfactant industry.
The most outstanding advantage of imidazoline amphoteric surfactants is that they have good biodegradability, can be degraded quickly and completely, and produce no pollution; and they are not harmful to skin and It has minimal eye irritation and good foaming properties; it has good mutual solubility with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants, and has bactericidal and mildew-inhibiting effects. Therefore, it is used in formulating baby shampoos and baby cleaning and hygiene products. It has broad application prospects.
In addition, it also has many uses in cleaning agents, fiber softeners, textile industry auxiliaries, metal polishes, corrosion inhibitors, etc.
