Sodium N-(2-carboxyethyl)-N-(2-ethylhexyl)-β-alaninate(CAT: M000680) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from β-alanine, featuring both hydrophilic (carboxylate) and lipophilic (2-ethylhexyl) moieties, along with a 2-carboxyethyl substituent that enhances water solubility. In aqueous solutions, it can act as a mild, low-foaming detergent with excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties. Due to its gentle nature and biodegradability, it is widely used in personal care products, household cleaners, and industrial formulations, especially where skin and material compatibility are important. Its amphoteric character allows it to perform effectively across a broad pH range, making it suitable for diverse cleaning, conditioning, and stabilization applications.
