Dodecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine (DDHB)
Dodecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine is a high-performance zwitterionic amphoteric surfactant that combines mildness with excellent detergency, featuring both cationic and anionic groups within the same molecule to exhibit pH-responsive behavior. This unique structure imparts outstanding compatibility with all surfactant types—anionic, cationic, and nonionic—across a wide pH range, simplifying formulation design while enhancing product stability. Readily soluble in water with strong hard-water tolerance, DDHB maintains high foaming power and cleansing efficiency even in challenging environments, and functions as an effective thickener, foam stabilizer, emulsifier, and wetting agent. Additionally, it provides inherent bactericidal and antistatic properties that add extra functional value to finished products. With its low irritation profile and excellent biodegradability, DDHB is widely adopted in premium personal care formulations such as mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products. It is also extensively utilized in household detergents, fabric softeners, textile auxiliaries, metalworking fluids, and enhanced oil recovery applications.
>> Main Uses
Dodecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine (DDHB) is a versatile zwitterionic surfactant widely employed as a primary cleanser, thickener, foam stabilizer, emulsifier, wetting agent, dispersant, and antistatic agent across personal care, household cleaning, textile processing, metalworking, agrochemical, and oilfield applications, including shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, baby care products, liquid detergents, fabric softeners, textile auxiliaries, corrosion inhibitors, pesticide adjuvants, and enhanced oil recovery formulations, where its mildness, hard water tolerance, electrolyte stability, bactericidal activity, and excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants make it a preferred choice for high-performance and eco-friendly formulations.
