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.
