LDAO CAS# 1643-20-5

High Solubility and Versatility: Easily soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it suitable for a wide range of formulations.

Dual Ionic Properties: Exhibits non-ionic or cationic behavior in aqueous solutions; becomes cationic at pH < 7, allowing flexible use in different applications.

Excellent Detergency and Foaming: As an amine oxide, it functions as an effective detergent and produces stable, rich foam, ideal for personal care and cleaning products.

Stable Physical Properties: Appears as a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid with a melting point of 132–133°C and a relative density of 0.98 at 20°C, ensuring consistency and reliability in processing.

Product Description of LDAO CAS# 1643-20-5

LDAO appears as a clear liquid ranging from colorless to pale yellow, with a relative density of 0.98 measured at 20°C. It dissolves readily in water and polar organic solvents while only sparingly soluble in nonpolar media, and displays amphiphilic properties featuring both nonionic and cationic characteristics in aqueous systems. It shifts to a fully cationic form under acidic conditions where pH is less than 7. Classified as an amine oxide surfactant, LDAO delivers outstanding detergency and creates abundant, long-lasting foam. Its melting point falls between 132°C and 133°C, which guarantees consistent functional performance when incorporated into diverse formula systems.
