Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available from Mason Chemical Company for information on the safe use, handling and disposal of this product.
Generally, alkyl (C12 range) amine oxide surfactants are bleach stable, mild, high foaming nonionic wetting agents with performance unaffected by pH or water hardness. Mason Chemical Company produces a full range of C8-C22 alkyl amine oxides, with three C12 range alkyl amine oxide surfactants: Macat AO-12 (high C12 dimethyl amine oxide), Macat AO-14 (high C14 dimethyl amine oxide) and Macat Ultra CDO (coconut oil derived C8-18 amidopropyl dimethyl amine oxide).
When compared to Macat AO-12, Macat Ultra CDO with a higher molecular weight, broader alkyl distribution, and internal amide linkage differs slightly. Both AO-12 and Ultra CDO are mild surfactants, especially when compared to strong anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, with Ultra CDO being slightly milder than AO-12. While both materials exhibit equivalent aqueous surface tension reduction, AO-12 is a higher foamer with faster Draves wetting, with Ultra CDO exhibiting greater foam stability at elevated temperatures. Both materials perform equivalently across the a wide pH range, with AO-12 exhibiting better bleach stability and Ultra CDO better hydrotrope performance.
