>> Product Introduce

C12-14 Amine Oxide (CAS: 308062-28-4)

C12-14 Amine Oxide is a high-performance, pH-responsive amphoteric surfactant supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid (30% active matter) with a mild characteristic odor. Its unique molecular structure enables it to function as a cationic surfactant in acidic media and as a nonionic surfactant under neutral to alkaline conditions, providing exceptional compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic systems across a broad pH range. This versatile surfactant serves as an effective foam booster and stabilizer, viscosity builder, detergency enhancer, and mildness agent, making it a preferred choice for household, institutional, and personal care formulations. It exhibits excellent stability in hard water, electrolytes, and oxidizing agents, while also delivering softening and antistatic benefits in textile and hair care applications. Furthermore, the product is readily biodegradable and, despite its aquatic toxicity classification at high concentrations, is considered to pose negligible environmental risk under real-world usage due to its rapid and thorough degradation in wastewater treatment systems.

>> Main Uses

C12-14 Amine Oxide is a versatile amphoteric surfactant widely used as a foam booster, foam stabilizer, viscosity builder, and detergency enhancer in household, industrial, and personal care formulations. It is commonly incorporated into dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, all-purpose cleaners, and industrial degreasers for superior soil and grease removal, while in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and hair conditioners, it provides mildness, lather enhancement, thickening, conditioning, and antistatic effects. Beyond cleaning and personal care, this surfactant also finds application in textile processing as an emulsifier and fiber lubricant, in bleach-thickening systems, oilfield chemicals, metal-working fluids, agricultural adjuvants, and water treatment formulations, owing to its pH-responsive amphoteric nature, excellent electrolyte tolerance, compatibility with oxidizing agents, and rapid biodegradability.
