Nonionic Surfactant Mega-12, N-dodecanoyl-n-methylglucamide

1. Structural formula: C19H39NO6
2. CAS No.: 87246-22-8
3. Molecular weight: 377.52g/mol
4. Synonyms: MEGA-12; N-Dodecanoyl-N-Methyl-D-Glucamide; N-Dodecanoyl-N-Methylglucamide; Dodecanoyl-N-Methylglucamide
As a new mild green surfactant, MEGA-12 has many outstanding advantages:
a c Excellent performance, with good surface activity, thickening, emulsifying, washing, etc.
a c Compared with amide products which contain ethanolamine, MEGA-12 is without free amine. It has good hydrophily because of 5 hydroxyl, no abnormal smell, good compatibility with skin.
a c Has high surface activity at the critical micelle concentration
a c In heavy duty liquid detergent, it can replace LAS (Linear Alklybezene Sulfonate) and AE (Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates). MEGA-12 performs very well when mixed with AES (Sodium Alcohol Ether Sulphate).
a c It can replace nonionic surfactant 6501 (Coconut Diethanol Amide/CDEA, CAS: 68603-42-9) and cationic surfactant 1631 (Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(bromide), CAS: 112-02-7).
a c Its detergency is better than APG (Alkyl Glucosides), above the average level.
a c Its foam is delicate and stable, better than the foam of ethoxylated fatty alcohols, close to the foam of anionic surfactants.
a c Mild, low irritation to skin and hair.
a c It is environmentally friendly and very safe to the environment and living things, up to 98-99% biodegradable.

Application: Widely used in washing products, cosmetics, personal care products, foods, pesticides, biochemical industries.
