Description

General description

Synthetic zwitterionic detergent, which unlike other amphoteric surfactants, retains its zwitterionic character over a wide pH range. This property is attributed to the presence of both a strongly basic quaternary ammonium ion and an acidic sulfonate ion of equal strength. This ionic balance presumably prevents irreversible binding of the detergent to either anionic or cationic compounds.

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, refrigerate (4°C). Aqueous stock solutions are stable for several months at 4°C.
