Is sodium lauryl sarcosinate harmful?
Sodium lauryl sarcosinate, also known as sodium dodecylphthalimide. Sodium lauryl sarcosinate is a milky to light yellow liquid with a special odor. It is soluble in water, alcohol, or other alcohol solutions such as vaseline. Under normal conditions, it is relatively stable to heat, acid, and alkali.
Main applications
(1) At the level of mineral heavy medium, it has a very good synergistic effect with cationic surfactants, achieving higher efficiency of heavy medium, and is a new type of carbohydrate cationic surfactant;
(2) With characteristics such as cleaning, emulsification, penetration, and solubilization;
(3) Excellent polyurethane foaming properties, and the foam plastic is fine and durable, can be used as a foam agent for whitening toothpaste and skincare products, pet shampoo, and facial cream raw materials;
(4) With bacteriostatic and antiseptic properties, anti-mold and corrosion resistance, anti-static working ability;
(5) Micro-toxic, low irritancy;
(6) Good degradability, zero pollution to the natural environment;
(7) In petrochemical industry, it can be mixed into thick oil anti-viscosity agent, anti-rust oil, halogen-free flame retardant, ignition sulfurizing promoter, etc;
(8) In the microbial level, it can be used for RNA, DNA concrete separation, as a solvent in somatic cell purification, as a preservative when separating DNA from human blood cells, and can also enhance the nitrogen fixation ability of legume rhizobia when added to the product, and there are many applications in immunochromatography;
(9) Used as desulfurizing agent, paint remover, and other in the laser cutting processing of metal materials;
(10) At the level of pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry: Sodium lauryl sarcosinate can alleviate the irritating effect of vitamin E on the skin, improve the digestion and absorption of vitamins, enhance the antibacterial and tolerance of ointments, can be used as an anesthetic additive, and also as a chemical intermediate for cancer drugs;
(11) In agricultural vehicle chemical products and microbial conditioning agents, acting as a fertilizer preparation, it can reduce the irritancy and toxic side effects of fertilizers, and improve their specificity;
(12) Lubricating fluid additive;
(13) As a preservative in architectural coatings and printing inks, improving solubility and reliability;
(14) Can be used as a lubricant for precious metal coatings in electroplating process industrial production;
(15) Beneficial to the production of nitric oxide synthase in the reactive state between dyes in the dyeing industry production.
