Other names: dicarboxymethylated, disodium salt.
CAS No.: 14350-97-1, EINECS No.: 238-306-3
Molecular formula: CH3(CH2)10CNCH2CH2NHOHN(CH2COOH)CH2CH2OCH2COOH 2Na+ 2OH-
Structural formula:
Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate (DLA) is zwitterionic surfactant, is a mild surfactant widely used in mild washes. It help to booster foam. Besides, it can help control the viscosity of solution and work as surfactant which enhances the water solubility of other surfactants.
Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate (DLA) is an antistatic agent. It can be incorporated into a formula due to its cleansing and hair conditioning action.
Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate (DLA) is exceedingly mild with very slim irritation, it was originally used as cleaning agent in infant shampoo and body washing products. However, gradually its application in a wider domains has been developed in personal care products, as primary or secondary surfactant in body wash, and facial cleanser, hand soap, shaving gels and so on.
Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate (DLA) contributes mild cleansing, control of viscosity, resistance to irritation, substantivity, and foaming characteristics in personal care formulations. It's ideal choice for cleaning agents, shampoos, and bath products.
