Sulfobetaine 14(Detergent zwitterionic) S122 N-Tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate, 99+%[ 14933-09-6 ] f.w.: 363.6 daltons |
A synthetic zwitterionic detergent, which unlike other amphoteric surfactants, retains its zwitterionic character over a broad pH range.
A synthetic zwitterionic detergent, which unlike other amphoteric surfactants, retains its zwitterionic character over a broad pH range. This property is attributed to the presence of both a strongly basic quaternary ammonium ion and an acidic sulfonate ion of equal strength. This ionic balance presumably prevents irreversible binding to either anionic or cationic compounds.
