Crodasinic LS-30(Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate)

Product name:Crodasinic LS-30(Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate)


Description: Crodasinic LS-30(Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) is a sarcosinate based surfactant. It is used as an electrolyte tolerant wetting agent.

 

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (INCI), also known as sarkosyl, is an ionic surfactant derived from sarcosine, used as a foaming and cleansing agent in shampoo, shaving foam and foam wash products. In molecular biology experiments, sarkosyl is used to inhibit the initiation of DNA transcription.

This surfactant is amphiphilic due to the hydrophobic 14-carbon chain (lauroyl) and the hydrophilic carboxylate. Since the nitrogen atom is in an amide linkage, the nitrogen is not pH active and is neutral at all solutions regardless of pH. The carboxylate has a pKa of about 3.6 and is therefore negatively charged in solutions of pH greater than about 5.5.
