What is Sodium Lauroylsarcosinate CAS 137-16-6?
Appearance and Form
White to slightly yellow powder (solid L-95) or colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid (liquid L-30).
It has a special smell and its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline (pH 7.0-9.0).
Physical parameters
Melting point: 46°C.
Density: 1.033 g/mL (20°C).
Solubility: Readily soluble in water (293 g/L), ethanol and glycerol.
Stability: Stable to heat, acid and alkali, but strong oxidants should be avoided.
Characteristics
Low toxicity, low irritation and good biodegradability.
It has strong foaming power, fine and long-lasting foam, and is resistant to hard water.
Sodium Lauroylsarcosinate CAS 137-16-6 Use
1. Personal care and daily chemicals
Shampoo/body wash: As a mild surfactant, it replaces sulfates (such as SLS) to reduce irritation.
Toothpaste/facial cleanser: Foaming agent, improving the texture of the foam.
Baby products: Due to its low irritation, it is often used in baby detergents.
2. Industry and Biotechnology
Biological experiments: Used for DNA/RNA separation and cell purification.
Petroleum industry: Viscosity reducer for heavy oil, rust inhibitor.
Flotation and textile: Mineral flotation synergist, textile antistatic agent.
3. Other fields
Pesticides/Medicines: Reduce drug irritation and enhance antibacterial properties.
Food additives: Emulsifiers (must comply with food-grade standards).
