Performance and application: Colorless and transparent viscous liquid, easily soluble in water, exhibiting non-ionic or cationic properties in aqueous solutions. When the pH value is less than 7, it becomes cationic. Amine oxide itself is an excellent detergent, which can produce stable and rich foam. Mainly used as tableware detergent and industrial liquid bleach, it has foaming and stabilizing effects, and can improve the compatibility of thickeners and the overall stability of products. It is also used as foam promoter, conditioner, thickener and antistatic agent for shampoo, liquid detergent and foam bath.
Water solubility of dodecyldimethylamine oxide: Due to the polar bond N → 0 and dipole distance of 4.38D in the amine oxide molecule, this compound has the characteristics of high polarity and high melting point. It is easily soluble in polar solvents such as water and low-carbon alcohols, but difficult to dissolve in non-polar solvents such as mineral oil and benzene.
In aqueous solutions, a large amount of amine oxide exists in the form of hydrates (R1R2R3NO · XH2O), but polarity changes with pH values. For example, in alkaline solutions with pH>7, it mainly exhibits anionic surfactant properties. But in acidic solutions with pH<3, amine oxide mainly exists in the form of cations. Amine oxide aqueous solution has weak oxidizing properties, which are utilized in cosmetics to achieve skin whitening.
Surface activity of dodecyl dimethylamine oxide:
(1) Surface tension: After adding amine oxide, the surface tension of water will be greatly reduced, for example, the surface tension of pure water is 72.80 × 10-3N/m. The surface tension at the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of various amine oxides is around 30 × 10-3N/m. At cmc, the surface tension of amine oxide is much lower than that of quaternary ammonium salts, so the surface activity of amine oxide is better than that of quaternary ammonium salts.
(2) Cleanliness: When amine oxide is mixed with AES or AS, it has a synergistic effect on cleaning, but when mixed with LAS, its synergistic effect is not significant. The product used to wash lipstick is 12% fatty acid (C12: C18=12:1), 13% non-ionic surfactant, 12% LAS. If a certain amount of amine oxide is added, the cleaning effect will be very good.
(3) Emulsifying power: Emulsifying power is an indicator of the quality of emulsifiers. If the aqueous solution of amine oxide and petroleum solvent are emulsified under the same conditions at 70 ℃, and then the volume change after emulsification is observed by standing still. The results indicate that the emulsifying ability increases with the increase of long-chain alkyl carbon number in amine oxide homologs. Another characteristic of amine oxide as an emulsifier is its ability to emulsify over a wide pH range, especially in acidic media. It can be combined with quaternary ammonium cations as preservatives and fungicides, which not only does not hinder the anti-corrosion performance of preservatives, but also enhances their anti-corrosion performance, which is different from other non-ionic surfactants
