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.
