Frequently Asked Questions

What is disodium N-tallow beta-iminodipropionic acid used for?

Disodium tallowiminodipropionate (CAS 61791-56-8) is an amphoteric surfactant used as a foaming, wetting, and cleansing agent. It functions as a co-surfactant compatible with both anionic and cationic systems and tolerates a broad pH range. RawSource supplies it in bulk to industrial and personal-care formulators.

Is this an amphoteric or anionic surfactant?

It is amphoteric — the disodium salt of an N-tallow iminodipropionic acid, carrying both cationic and anionic character depending on pH. That makes it broadly compatible across anionic and cationic actives, which is why it is used as a co-surfactant rather than a sole primary surfactant.

What is the CAS number for disodium N-tallow beta-iminodipropionic acid?

The CAS number is 61791-56-8. The molecule is a tallow-derived iminodipropionate disodium salt; the tallow chain is a distribution of fatty chain lengths rather than a single carbon number. Request a CoA at order for the active content and identity confirmation.

What packaging and minimum order quantities are available?

RawSource supplies this surfactant in bulk industrial packaging — typically drums, totes, and IBCs — to manufacturing accounts. Available pack sizes, active concentration, and MOQ depend on the supplied grade. Contact us with your target volume for current options and lead time.

What is the cost of bulk disodium N-tallow beta-iminodipropionic acid?

Pricing is quoted per order based on grade, volume, packaging, and freight. Send RawSource your target quantity and destination for a landed quote. We do not publish a fixed price because cost tracks feedstock and order scale.
