What are dipropionate amphoteric surfactants? 

Used widely across a huge range of industry sectors worldwide, dipropionate amphoterics by Lakeland Laboratories are mild, highly versatile and suitable for applications ranging from personal care products to the cleaning of oil field pipelines, automotive cleaning agents and supporting safe metal working processes. 

Lakeland's anti-corrosive dipropionate amphoteric surfactants are generally used by our clients for industrial applications, often alongside other anionic and non-ionic surfactants to create effective, bespoke properties. For example, clients may require a formulation which is higher or lower-foaming to suit a specific application.

Also known as dual-ionic surfactants, amphoterics comprise both negatively and positively charged functional groups and are stable in acid and alkaline solutions, and in high temperatures.
