Schercamox™ DML amine oxide

Cleansing Hair-Care

Versatile amine oxide for use in various personal care systems

Schercamox™ DML surfactant is an amine oxide that can be used for numerous applications such as an emulsifier, emulsion stabilizer, and anti-static agent. In shampoo formulations, it is used as a foam booster and thickener, and can be used in conjunction with or instead of alkanolamides. In neutral or alkaline solutions, it exhibits a nonionic character and is therefore compatible with anionics. In acid solutions, it exhibits mild quaternary properties which enable it to impart substantivity on skin and hair. It is recommended for use in body washes, hand soaps and shampoos.
