NONANOYL METHYLGLUCAMIDE.

Avoid CAS 85261-19-4 / ANTIPLAQUE, SURFACE MODIFIER, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

N-Nonanoyl-N-methylglucamine is a nonionic detergent and surfactant primarily recognized for its ability to solubilize hydrophobic substances and stabilize emulsions. While it functions as a surfactant, its main applications are in biochemical research rather than cosmetic formulations.

Summary

surfactant emulsifying solubilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound acts as a nonionic detergent, effectively reducing surface tension and facilitating the dispersion of insoluble materials within aqueous systems. Its mechanism involves encapsulating or surrounding hydrophobic molecules, thereby rendering them soluble, and contributing to the stability of emulsified mixtures. Its utility is largely observed in laboratory settings for solubilizing membrane proteins.
