PROPIONIC ACID- ▸ Amphoteric surfactant: mild co-surfactant for cleansing systems
- ▸ Wetting & foam: surface-active agent contributing wetting and foam stability
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Lauraminopropionic Acid is an amphoteric surfactant of the N-alkyl amino-acid class (N-dodecyl-beta-alanine type). As an amphoteric surface-active agent, materials of this class are used as mild co-surfactants in personal-care and cleaning formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lauraminopropionic Acid used for?
Lauraminopropionic Acid is an amphoteric surfactant of the N-alkyl amino-acid class (an N-dodecyl-beta-alanine type). It is used as a mild co-surfactant contributing wetting and foam stability in personal-care and cleaning formulations.
What is sodium lauriminodipropionate?
Sodium lauriminodipropionate is the sodium salt of the related dicarboxylic amino-acid surfactant in the same amphoteric family. It is used as a mild co-surfactant; Lauraminopropionic Acid is the monocarboxylic acid form of this chemistry.
Is Lauraminopropionic Acid an amphoteric surfactant?
Yes. It carries both an amine and a carboxylic-acid group, making it amphoteric, which is why it is used as a mild co-surfactant in surfactant blends rather than as a primary detergent.
What grades and documentation are available?
RawSource supplies the technical surfactant grade with a Certificate of Analysis and SDS on every order. Confirm active content and intended formulation use on your RFQ so we can match the correct specification.
How is bulk Lauraminopropionic Acid quoted?
Bulk pricing depends on volume, active concentration, and packaging. Send an RFQ with your target spec and annual volume for a current quote in drum, tote, or IBC quantities.
