Frequently Asked Questions

What is sodium lauraminopropionate used for?

Sodium lauraminopropionate (CAS 14960-06-6) is an amphoteric amino-acid-type surfactant used as a cleansing and conditioning agent in personal-care wash formulations, and as an antistatic co-surfactant in hair care. RawSource supplies it as a raw material to formulators.

What is sodium lauraminopropionate made from?

It is derived from lauryl amine and propionic acid, giving an amphoteric amino-acid-type surface-active agent with formula C18H34NNaO4. Its amphoteric character lets it pair with anionic surfactants as a mild co-surfactant. See the technical data sheet for active content and pH.

What is sodium lauriminodipropionate, and is it the same thing?

They are related amphoteric surfactants but not identical — the lauriminodipropionate carries two propionate groups (a diacetate-type structure) versus the single propionate of lauraminopropionate. Confirm the exact CAS and INCI name on your specification, as the two are easily confused.

What is the HS code for sodium lauraminopropionate?

It is classified under HS 3402.49 (organic surface-active agents, other). Confirm the final tariff classification with your customs broker for the destination country.

How is bulk sodium lauraminopropionate packaged and quoted?

It is typically supplied as an aqueous solution in drums, IBCs/totes, or bulk. Provide your required active concentration and quantity to receive a bulk quote with a Certificate of Analysis and SDS.
