Mackamine®
Technical Specifications
Mackamine® C 14 E is a light coloured amine oxide that provides moderate foam boosting and foam stability. It is compatible with most surfactants and because there are no amide or ester groups, Mackamine® C 14 E will not hydrolyze in acid systems. It is also stable in alkaline products. Mackamine® C 14 E is an intermediate molecular weight fatty amine oxide. Amine oxides can be formulated with anionic, nonionic, and cationic products and are mildly cationic under acidic conditions. They are used in shampoos, bubble baths, hand soaps and conditioners for their conditioning, foam stabilizing and viscosity building properties. The lower alkyl chain products give good foam boosting and stabilization while the higher molecular weight amine oxides provide softness and conditioning. Being somewhat higher in molecular weight than Lauramine Oxide, Mackamine® C 14 E provides greater viscosity building properties and finds use especially in thickened hypochlorite systems.
