Disodium Lauriminodipropionate (CAS 3655-00-3) is an amphoteric surfactant, the disodium salt of an N-lauryl iminodipropionic acid. Amphoteric surfactants of this class serve as foaming, wetting, and cleansing co-surfactants compatible with anionic and cationic actives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is disodium lauriminodipropionate used for?

Disodium lauriminodipropionate (CAS 3655-00-3) is an amphoteric surfactant used as a mild cleansing co-surfactant, a foam builder, and a wetting agent. It is the disodium salt of an N-lauryl iminodipropionic acid and is compatible with anionic and cationic actives over a broad pH range. RawSource supplies it in bulk to formulators.

What is the difference between the lauryl and tallow iminodipropionate grades?

Both are amphoteric iminodipropionate disodium salts; the difference is the fatty chain. This grade (CAS 3655-00-3) is the N-lauryl (C12) version, while the tallow grade uses a tallow-derived chain distribution. Chain length affects foam profile and solubility, so confirm the exact CAS against your specification.

What is the CAS number and formula for disodium lauriminodipropionate?

The CAS number is 3655-00-3 and the molecular formula is C18H33NNa2O4. It is supplied as an aqueous surfactant solution in most commercial grades. Request a CoA for active content and identity at order.

What grades and packaging does RawSource offer?

RawSource supplies this amphoteric surfactant in bulk industrial packaging such as drums, totes, and IBCs. Active concentration and available pack sizes depend on the supplied grade. Contact us with your volume requirement for current grade availability and MOQ.

What is the cost of bulk disodium lauriminodipropionate?

Pricing is provided by quote based on grade, order volume, packaging, and freight terms. Send RawSource your target quantity and destination for a landed price and lead time. We quote rather than list because cost moves with feedstock and scale.
