Lauryl Dimethylamine Oxide
 
 

MACAT AO-12 is a 30% active lauryl (C12) dimethylamine oxide in water. AO-12 is an effective wetting agent, outstanding foam booster and grease cutter that is hypochlorite and acid stable.

The exceptional quality of MACAT AO-12 allows for use in a wide range of markets and applications. Quality Dishwash Detergents utilize AO-12 for its grease cutting and rinsing performance. HI&I Cleaners formulations economically employ AO-12 for detergency, foam boosting and hypochlorite stability. Stable in acidic systems, AO-12 exhibits enhanced surface activity for use in acidic floor and bathroom cleaners. In Textile finishing, MACAT AO-12 is non-rewetting above 350°F.
