1 of 19 products in this brand
MACKAMINE® C 8 is a pure octyldimethylamine oxide that offers good wetting and very low foaming characteristics. Compatible with most surfactants, it contains no amide or ester groups, ensuring it will not hydrolyze in acidic systems. MACKAMINE® C 8 is also stable in highly alkaline and strong electrolyte systems, making it useful in industrial cleaners as a detergent and hydrotrope.
