Octadecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine (ODHB)
Octadecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine is a high-performance amphoteric surfactant supplied as a light yellow, viscous aqueous solution. It exhibits outstanding stability across a wide pH range, functioning as a cationic surfactant in acidic media and as a nonionic species in alkaline conditions, while remaining fully compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants in complex formulations. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for premium personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, bath liquids, and cosmetic creams, as well as for textile finishing agents, oilfield fracturing fluids, and high-performance cleaning detergents. Combining multifunctional performance with excellent compatibility, ODHB serves as a reliable and sustainable surfactant solution for modern industrial and consumer formulations.
>> Main Uses
Octadecyldihydroxyethyl Betaine (ODHB) is a versatile amphoteric surfactant widely utilized across personal care, household cleaning, textile, and industrial sectors. In personal care products, it functions as a mild cleansing agent, foam booster, thickener, and conditioner in shampoos, hair conditioners, bath liquids, facial cleansers, and skin care creams, offering low irritation and excellent sensory feel. In detergents and cleaning formulations, it acts as an effective foam stabilizer, emulsifier, and lime soap dispersant, enhancing detergency and hard water tolerance. For textile applications, it serves as a fabric softener and antistatic agent to improve hand feel and reduce static buildup. Additionally, it finds use in oilfield clean fracturing fluids, as well as in paints, coatings, and agrochemicals as a dispersant, wetting agent, and bactericide, demonstrating reliable performance across diverse formulations.
