Key Product Features
Wetting and Detergency
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide provides surface activity in aqueous cleaning formulations, supporting wetting and the removal of oily soils. It can be combined with other surfactants in industrial degreasers, hard-surface cleaners and detergent concentrates.
Controlled Foam Performance
C10 amine oxide surfactants are used in cleaning formulations requiring controlled foam and relatively fast foam break. Foam behavior varies with the surfactant blend and working concentration, making the material applicable to both manual cleaning products and selected equipment-cleaning systems.
Surfactant Coupling
Decylamine oxide provides coupling and hydrotropic functionality in mixed surfactant systems. It is compatible with various anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants and can support the formulation of concentrated liquid cleaning products.
Viscosity Adjustment
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide can contribute to viscosity development in detergent and cleansing formulations. Its effect depends on the surfactant combination and formulation composition.
Applications of Decyl Dimethyl Amine Oxide
1. Industrial and Institutional Cleaning
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide is used in industrial and institutional cleaning products, including floor cleaners, kitchen degreasers, bathroom cleaners and multipurpose hard-surface detergents.
It contributes wetting, detergency and surfactant coupling in concentrated and ready-to-use formulations. Its controlled-foam characteristics are useful in cleaning systems where soil removal, rinsing and foam behavior are important.
2. Equipment Cleaning, Metal Cleaning and CIP Systems
Decylamine oxide is used in selected equipment-cleaning, metal-cleaning and clean-in-place (CIP) formulations.
It supports wetting and cleaning performance while helping formulators manage foam in recirculating and equipment-based cleaning systems. This makes C10 amine oxide relevant to industrial cleaning concentrates and surfactant packages for machinery and processing equipment.
3. Dishwashing and Warewashing Detergents
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide is used as a supporting surfactant in dishwashing detergents and commercial warewashing formulations.
It contributes detergency, grease removal and surfactant compatibility. The C10 structure also makes it relevant to formulations that require controlled foam, particularly in cleaning systems where excessive foam is undesirable.
4. Vehicle Cleaning and Degreasing Products
Decylamine oxide is suitable for formulation work involving vehicle cleaning products, truck-wash concentrates and industrial degreasers.
It supports the wetting of contaminated surfaces and assists with the removal of road grime, oils and general dirt. Its surfactant-coupling and foam-management properties make it a useful component of multi-surfactant vehicle cleaning formulations.
5. Household Cleaning and Liquid Detergents
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide is used in household cleaning products such as bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners and liquid detergent formulations.
It provides detergency and wetting while contributing to the performance of blended surfactant systems. It can also assist with viscosity adjustment and surfactant compatibility in concentrated liquid products.
6. Shampoo and Personal Cleansing Products
Decylamine oxide is also used in selected shampoo and personal cleansing formulations as a secondary surfactant.
It can contribute to foam development, viscosity adjustment and cleansing performance when combined with other surfactants. Grade selection and documentation requirements for personal care manufacturing can be discussed as part of a commercial enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the common commercial concentration of Decyl Dimethyl Amine Oxide?
Decyl dimethyl amine oxide is commonly supplied as a 30% aqueous liquid. This grade is used in detergent manufacturing, industrial cleaners and other liquid surfactant formulations.
Is Decyl Dimethyl Amine Oxide suitable for low-foam cleaning products?
Decylamine oxide can be used in controlled-foam and relatively fast-breaking foam formulations. It is relevant to equipment cleaning, metal cleaning and selected CIP systems. The final foam profile depends on the complete surfactant formulation.
Is CAS 2605-79-0 the same as Lauryl Dimethyl Amine Oxide?
No. CAS 2605-79-0 is a C10 decyl amine oxide. Lauryl Dimethyl Amine Oxide, CAS 1643-20-5, is a C12 surfactant. They are different chemical products with potentially different foam, viscosity and formulation properties.
What packaging is used for bulk Decylamine Oxide orders?
Common industrial packing formats include 200 kg plastic drums and 1,000 kg IBC containers. The actual packing configuration and order quantity are confirmed with the quotation.
Can specific quality limits and documentation requirements be included in an order?
Yes. Commercial enquiries may include requirements for active content, free amine, peroxide, pH and other specification parameters. Unilong can review these requirements and confirm the offered grade and available documents before an order is finalized.
