Octyliminodipropionate is a specialized amphoteric surfactant engineered for alkaline, low-foam cleaning applications.
With excellent hydrotropic and defoaming capabilities, Octyliminodipropionate’s highly valued in industrial, institutional, and technical detergent systems.
Its biodegradability, salt-free nature, and formulation flexibility make Octyliminodipropionate a sustainable, functional alternative to traditional foaming surfactants and hydrotropes.
Octyliminodipropionate is an amphoteric surfactant, belonging to the β-alanine (iminodipropionate) family.
Octyliminodipropionate is typically supplied as its sodium salt, which enhances its solubility in aqueous formulations.
What makes Octyliminodipropionate especially valuable is its low-foaming and alkali-stable nature—making it particularly well-suited for industrial and institutional cleaning systems.
Octyliminodipropionate is a salt-free octyliminodipropionate.
Octyliminodipropionate functions include foam inhibition, hydrotrope / co-surfactant, alkali stable, low foaming, and defoaming.
Octyliminodipropionate is a low-foaming, salt-free octyliminodipropionate that is alkaline-stable with good alkali tolerance.
Octyliminodipropionate is typically used in detergents, shampoos, and other cleaners.
Octyliminodipropionate is a salt-free octyliminodipropionate.
Octyliminodipropionate is ideal for use as a cleaning agent in household hard surface cleaning.
Octyliminodipropionate is an extremely versatile, non-foaming amphoteric surfactant that provides excellent hydrotroping properties over a wide range of electrolyte concentrations.
Octyliminodipropionate effectively couples conventional and capped low foaming nonionics into heavy duty built alkaline cleaner formulations.
Octyliminodipropionate is a low-foaming, alkali-stable amphoteric surfactant and hydrotrope, widely used in industrial cleaning, detergents, car-care systems, and defoamer formulations.
Octyliminodipropionate provides excellent foam control, stability in high-pH environments, and eco-friendliness via biodegradability.
