Amine Oxides are derived from tertiary Amines by oxidation, usually with hydrogen peroxide. They conform to the general structure, RR'R''NO, where R represents a long-chain alkyl group and where R' and R'' may be either identical or different and represent relatively short-chain alkyl groups. A typical example is Lauramine Oxide, which chemically is N,N-dimethyllauramine oxide.
The Amine Oxides are nonionic surfactants with mildly cationic properties at acid pH. They are used in a variety of cleansing products and as emulsifiers in cosmetic preparations. |
