Request SDS →Sodium lauroamphoacetate (CAS 156028-14-7), an amphoteric organic surface-active agent derived from lauric acid. Used as a secondary surfactant and co-surfactant in personal-care cleansers, including shampoos and baby washes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium lauroamphoacetate used for?
Sodium lauroamphoacetate (CAS 156028-14-7) is an amphoteric surfactant used as a secondary surfactant and co-surfactant in personal-care cleansers such as shampoos, body washes, and baby washes. RawSource supplies it as a raw material to formulators.
What is sodium lauroamphoacetate derived from?
It is derived from lauric acid (commonly of coconut or palm-kernel origin) and reacted into an amphoteric imidazoline-based structure, formula C18H34N2NaO3+. Its amphoteric nature lets it pair with anionic surfactants as a mild co-surfactant. See the technical data sheet for active content and pH.
Is sodium lauroamphoacetate the same as sodium lauryl sulfate? Is it a sulfate?
No — it is an amphoteric surfactant, not a sulfate. Unlike sodium lauryl sulfate it carries no sulfate group, and the two have different CAS numbers and formulation roles. It is frequently chosen as a co-surfactant in sulfate-free systems.
What is the HS code for sodium lauroamphoacetate?
It is classified under HS 3402.49 (organic surface-active agents, other). Confirm the final tariff classification with your customs broker for your destination.
How is bulk sodium lauroamphoacetate 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.
