Amphoteric surfactant is a mild surfactant, it is containing both anionic and cationic hydrophilic groups within the same molecule, there are both acidic and basic groups present at one end of the molecule. Generally speaking, amphoteric surfactants have low toxicity, low eye and skin irritation, anti-hard water, excellent foaming and compatibility with other surfactants. Due to the unique characteristics of amphoteric surfactants, their performance depends on the pH value of the final formulation: in acidic environments, amphoteric ions have more cationic properties, while in alkaline environments, their behavior is more like anionic surfactants. Because the structure of amphoteric surfactants is amphoteric, these molecules are compatible with all other types of surfactants. Betaine and amine oxide are the two most commonly used amphoteric surfactants, Henan Surface Industry Co., Ltd ( https://www.surfaceindustry.com ) is a professional manufacturer and provider in surfactant ...
