Amphoteric surfactants household cleaners

Amphoteric surfactants have a special application profile which favours their use mainly in cosmetics. In recent years, they have also found increasing application in the development of dishwashing agents or household cleaners. Compared to the amounts produced world-wide of anionic and nonionic surfactants, the volume of amphoterics is still relatively small. For cosmetic products, their consumption in Europe in 1992 was about 15 000 t. The main carbon chain includes the Cg-Cig range. The zwitterionic character of amphoterics strongly influences their particular behaviour, i.e. both anionic and cationic... 

Primarily owing to cost or even tradition, other surfactants, snch as ethoxy-lated amines, amides, and amphoterics, have not been used generally in laundry detergents. However, these specialty surfactants have been included in a number of other household cleaners, industrial formulations, and personal-care products.
