n-Dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate White solid. PROTECT FROM MOISTURE. A synthetic zwitterionic detergent, which unlike other amphoteric surfactants, retains its zwitterionic character over a broad 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 to either anionic or cationic compounds. Aggregation number: 55. Purity: ≥99% by TLC. Aggregation number 55, CMC 2 - 4 mM. CAS 14933-08-5.
