Amino Acid Surfactants

Amino Acid Surfactants

1.Product Property

Amino acid surfactants are mild, biodegradable, and derived from natural sources. They are available as liquids or powders with varying solid contents (30%–100%). These surfactants exhibit excellent foaming properties, stability in hard water, and low irritation to skin and eyes. They are suitable for a wide range of applications due to their gentle nature and environmental friendliness.

3.Application Scope and Usage

 

Amino acid surfactants are used in personal care products (shampoos, facial cleansers, baby products) for their mildness and excellent foaming properties. They are also used in household cleaning products (dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents) for their strong cleaning power and biodegradability. In industrial applications, they serve as effective cleaning agents and emulsifiers. Recommended usage levels vary from 0.5% to 15% depending on the application and desired properties.

4.Package and Storage

 

Amino acid surfactants are typically packaged in 200 kg epoxy-coated steel drums or 50 kg HDPE drums for liquid grades, and in 25 kg or 50 kg polyethylene bags for powder grades. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and strong acids or oxidizers. The shelf life is generally 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions.
