High Quality Sodium Sarcosine / Sodium Sarcosinate CAS 4316-73-8

Sodium sarcosinate serves as a core raw material for the synthesis of amino acid-based surfactants. Through acylation reactions, sodium sarcosinate reacts with fatty acids—such as lauric acid and coconut fatty acid—to produce products such as sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate and sodium N-cocoyl sarcosinate. These surfactants exhibit excellent foaming, emulsifying, and detergency capabilities. Furthermore, due to the presence of amino acid groups within their molecular structures, they demonstrate exceptional compatibility with human skin, possess very low irritation potential for both skin and eyes, and are readily biodegradable.

Sodium sarcosinate itself can also be utilized as a food additive to enhance food flavor, or employed as a preservative and freshness-retention agent to prevent fermentation and spoilage during food storage.

In the industrial sector, it functions as a dyeing auxiliary, improving both the uptake rate and fixation rate of dyes on textile fibers.

In the fields of metal processing and lubricants, sodium sarcosinate serves as an excellent rust inhibitor and corrosion retardant, effectively preventing the formation of rust on metal surfaces.
