This synthetic zwitterionic detergent retains its zwitterionic character over a wide pH range.
- Synonyms: n-Tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate
- Form: White solid
- Storage: +15°C to +30°C
- Toxicity: Irritant
- CMC: 100 - 400 μM
- Aggregation Number: 83
The zwitterionic character is attributed to the presence of both a strongly basic quaternary ammonium ion and an acidic sulfonate ion of equal strength. This ionic balance presumably prevents irreversible binding of the detergent to either anionic or cationic compounds.
