The Properties of Dicarboxy Alkylamine and Alkyl-β-Alanine Type Ampholytic Surface Active Agents

Abstract

Applications of dicarboxy alkylamine and alkyl-β-alanine type ampholytic surface active agents as dyeing assistants and antistatic agents were studied.
Surface tension, wetting power and dye dispersing power of the former is better, while the latter has better effect on the rate of absorption of dyes.
The two ampholytics showed equally good migration, but antistatic effect of alkyl-β-alanine type is better in all cases, especially for Tetron, wool and acetate.
