Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate CAS 12765-39-8

Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate CAS 12765-39-8

Sodium cocoyl methyl taurine CAS 12765-39-8, abbreviated as SMCT, is also known as sodium methocoyl taurine or sodium methyl cocoyl taurine. Its chemical structure formula is RCON(CH3)CH2CH2SO3Na. It is an amino acid surfactant. At room temperature, it is a milky white viscous paste. The PH value of a 1% aqueous solution is 6.5 to 9.0, and the active substance is greater than 38%. Coconut oleic acid soap <2%, color (APHA)≤300.

Core functions of Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate:
1. Emulsifier, emulsifying aid: Stabilizes the emulsion system
2. Mild surfactant, foaming agent: Fine foam, low irritation
3. Skin sensation regulator: Improves application feel, reduces tightness, has moisturizing auxiliary effect
4. Aid in preservative enhancement, can be compounded to reduce the irritation of other surfactants

Specification

Application

Sodium cocoyl methyl taurine CAS 12765-39-8 is a milder surfactant than SLS, with lower skin irritation and excellent cleaning power. It can be used with confidence in facial cleansers and is suitable for formulating various medium and high-end shampoos, facial cleansers and bath products, etc. It is particularly suitable for infant products, giving hair and skin a gentle, moisturizing and smooth feeling. It can also be used as a refining agent and detergent in the woolen textile and silk dyeing and printing industries.

Features

1. Mild anionic surfactant, non-amino acid surfactant
Derived from lauric acid and lactyl lactate, with low irritation, close to amino acid surfactant, reducing the overall irritation of the formula, suitable for sensitive skin, baby and children’s hygiene care.
2. Fine and dense foam
Main carbon chain is C12 lauroyl, excellent foaming performance, fine and stable foam; gentle cleaning power, not suitable for heavy oil stain cleaning scenarios.
3. Excellent moisturizing and conditioning, no dryness after washing
It has a self-derived lactate structure, forming a thin protective film on the skin surface after washing, reducing tightness and dryness; low slip degree, refreshing sensation after rinsing.
4. Dual functions of assisting emulsification and assisting foaming
Can be used as the main or auxiliary surfactant in rinse-off products, and can also act as an emulsifying agent to stabilize cream and lotion, multi-purpose use.
5. Biodegradable, green raw materials
Raw materials come from plant-based fatty acids (coconut / palm sources), good biodegradability, in line with the green hygiene care trend.

FAQ

Q: Is Sodium cocoyl methyl taurine an amino acid surfactant?
A: It is not an amino acid surfactant; it belongs to the lactate ester type anionic surfactant; however, it is less irritating than amino acid surfactants and is often used in combination with amino acid surfactants for facial cleansers.

Q: Is Sodium cocoyl methyl taurine prone to hydrolysis?
A: It is stable under neutral to weakly alkaline conditions; it will hydrolyze into lauric acid and lactate when exposed to strong acids or alkalis for a long time. The formula should avoid extreme pH values.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Test samples can be provided. For regular bulk orders, the minimum order quantity is 25KG per Drum.

Q: What is the delivery cycle?
A: There is a stock available. After receiving the payment, the goods will be dispatched within 1-3 working days. For large container orders, production scheduling needs to be confirmed in advance, which takes approximately 7-15 working days.

Q: What is the payment method?
A: T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) remittance is supported. LC; ALipay.
