MACKAMINE® C 14 E

MACKAMINE® C 14 E is a light-colored amine oxide that offers moderate foam boosting and foam stability. It is compatible with most surfactants and, due to the absence of amide or ester groups, will not hydrolyze in acidic systems. MACKAMINE® C 14 E is also stable in alkaline products and has an intermediate molecular weight. Amine oxides can be formulated with anionic, nonionic, and cationic products, exhibiting mild cationic properties under acidic conditions. They are commonly used in shampoos, bubble baths, hand soaps, and conditioners for their conditioning, foam stabilizing, and viscosity building properties. Lower alkyl chain products provide good foam boosting and stabilization, while higher molecular weight amine oxides offer softness and conditioning. MACKAMINE® C 14 E, being higher in molecular weight than lauramine oxide, enhances viscosity building properties, making it particularly effective in thickened hypochlorite systems.
