Pack in tight-closed containers(drums or tanks); Store Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate in a dry, ventilated and cool place; 
Kept Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate away from direct sun and water.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate is 12 months.

HOW SODIUM N-LAUROYLSARCOSINATE IS MADE:
Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate is made with coconut acid and sarcosine, which is a breakdown product of creatine or caffeine.
Creatine is a natural amino acid found in muscle and body tissue.

Commercially, Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate is made in the presence of sodium hydroxide; it is then purified by recrystallizing it from alcohol or by acidifying it with mineral acid, separating the free acid, and neutralizing the free acid.
Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate, often known as Sarcosyl, is one of the most widely used amino acid-derived surfactants.

Amino acid surfactants are a group of surfactants derived from amino acids and fatty acids.
They have been trending surfactants to use in a wide range of personal care products for their complete biodegradability, high safeness, mildness, and non-irritation properties.

IN CULTURE, SODIUM N-LAUROYLSARCOSINATE:
Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate was sold as a special ingredient called "Gardol" in Colgate "Dental Cream", as toothpaste was then called, during the 1950s through the mid-1960s in the US and the mid-1970s in France.
Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate's current use as a preventive dentifrice is in Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste, a Church & Dwight product, where it is used as a surfactant.

STORAGE of SODIUM N-LAUROYLSARCOSINATE:
Store Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents and sources of ignition; ground all equip. containing this material 25 C.

SYNTHESIS of SODIUM N-LAUROYLSARCOSINATE:
***Synthesis of lauryl chloride: 
In a dry three-necked flask equipped with a reflux condenser, add a certain amount of lauric acid, heating and melting, the temperature is controlled at 60~70°C, slowly add phosphorus trichloride drop by drop with sufficient stirring, the reaction is 2h, the reaction is static and stratified, the lower layer of phosphite is removed, and the upper layer of lauryl chloride can be obtained.


***Synthesis of N-lauroyl sarcosine: 
Add a certain amount of sodium sarcosine solution and solvent tetrahydrofuran to a four-necked flask with an electric stirrer and reflux condenser, and add aqueous sodium hydroxide and lauryl chloride dropwise with stirring.
The pH value of the reaction system was controlled in the range of 9~11.

The pH value of the reaction system was adjusted to 1~2 with dilute acid to convert sodium sarcosinate to insoluble sodium sarcosinate with dilute acid.
The solvent was recovered by continuing to react for 3 hours.

After the reaction was continued for 3 h, the pH was adjusted to 1~2 with dilute acid so that N-lauroyl sarcosine was converted to N-lauroyl sarcosine, which was insoluble in water, and thus separated from water-soluble inorganic impurities.
Extract Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate with ether, wash the upper oil layer to neutral, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, evaporate the solvent and recrystallize with petroleum ether to obtain white needle crystals.
