For over six decades, Nanjing Chemical Material Corp. (NCMC) has been a trusted leader in the chemical industry, specializing in high-quality specialty chemicals, including amphoteric detergents. As a government-authorized supplier of advanced chemical solutions, NCMC provides innovative and reliable amphoteric surfactants for diverse industrial applications. Leveraging extensive research, manufacturing excellence, and global distribution capabilities, NCMC bridges the gap between China's chemical expertise and international market demands.
Amphoteric detergents, also known as amphoteric surfactants, possess a unique molecular structure that allows them to function as both cationic and anionic agents depending on pH conditions. Unlike traditional surfactants, they exhibit exceptional compatibility with other chemical ingredients while maintaining gentle yet effective cleaning power.
NCMC's amphoteric surfactants stand out due to their:
- pH adaptability (stable in both acidic and alkaline environments)
- Low irritation, making them suitable for sensitive applications
- Excellent foaming and emulsifying properties
- Biodegradability, aligning with modern environmental regulations
These properties make amphoteric detergents ideal for industries requiring high-performance yet mild cleaning solutions.

The choice between amphoteric detergents and other surfactants depends on application requirements. Below is a comparison highlighting key differences:
Property | Amphoteric Detergents | Anionic Surfactants |
pH Sensitivity | Stable in wide pH ranges | Best in alkaline conditions |
Skin Irritation | Low (gentle on skin) | Higher (can cause dryness) |
Foam Stability | Excellent, even in hard water | Reduced in hard water |
Biodegradability | Highly biodegradable | Varies (some are less eco-friendly) |
Compatibility | Works well with other surfactants | May interact negatively with cations |
This versatility makes amphoteric detergents superior for applications where mildness and performance must coexist.

Due to their balanced chemistry, amphoteric surfactants find widespread use in multiple industries, including:
- Personal Care & Cosmetics: Shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby care products benefit from their gentle cleansing action.
- Household & Industrial Cleaning: Used in mild detergents, disinfectants, and specialized cleaners.
- Textile & Leather Processing: Enhances fabric softness while maintaining fiber integrity.
- Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and foam stabilizer.
NCMC's expertise ensures that these amphoteric detergents meet stringent industry standards for effectiveness and safety.

Sensitive skin requires surfactants that cleanse without causing irritation. Amphoteric detergents, such as those supplied by NCMC, provide the perfect solution because:
Reduced Irritation – Their mild molecular structure minimizes skin dryness and discomfort.
pH-Balanced Compatibility – Adapt to the skin's natural pH, preventing irritation.
Enhanced Moisturization – Less stripping of natural oils compared to harsher alternatives.
As a result, amphoteric surfactants are increasingly favored in skincare formulations, particularly for baby shampoos, hydrating facial cleansers, and hypoallergenic body washes.

With decades of experience in chemical manufacturing and supply, NCMC stands as a reliable global partner for high-quality amphoteric detergents. Whether for industrial, cosmetic, or household applications, NCMC's commitment to innovation and quality ensures optimal performance and safety.
By integrating cutting-edge research with sustainable practices, NCMC continues to drive advancements in amphoteric detergent technology, reinforcing its position as a leading chemical supplier in China and beyond.
