Gemini Surfactant
Cosmetic grade amino acid surfactant cocoyl glutamic acid powder
Gemini surfactants, also known as dimeric or twin-chain surfactants, consist of two hydrophobic tails and two hydrophilic headgroups connected by a spacer group. They exhibit unique properties due to their compact structure, which leads to enhanced surface activity compared to conventional monomeric surfactants. Key parameters that define the characteristics and performance of Gemini surfactants include:
Environmental and Biodegradability Profile: The choice of headgroups, tails, and spacer can be tailored to improve biodegradability and minimize environmental impact.
