China and the United States are the leading exporters of Dodecyldimethylamine oxide (CAS 1643-20-5), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. These countries consistently dominate trade flows, reflecting established demand in surfactant and specialty chemical applications. Recent data shows relative stability in export volumes from major suppliers, though Dodecyldimethylamine oxide prices have exhibited modest upward pressure amid tightening raw material availability and regional regulatory adjustments.
Dodecyldimethylamine oxide is a white to off-white, waxy solid or viscous liquid at room temperature, with a mild amine-like odor and low volatility; it has a melting point typically between 50–60 °C and is highly water-soluble. It is classified as a tertiary amine oxide and functions primarily as a surfactant and chemical intermediate. Its main industrial use is in the synthesis of betaine-type surfactants—particularly cocamidopropyl betaine—via reaction with chloroacetic acid. It is widely employed in personal care formulations (e.g., shampoos, cleansers) and household cleaning products for its foaming, thickening, and mildness-enhancing properties.
Barlox(R) 1260 is a concentrated cocoamine oxide surfactant. Barlox(R) 1260 can be used in a broad number of industriual cleaning applications where coupling, high foaming, detergency and compatibility are important. Product Data Sheet
