APPLICATIONS

Sarcosine , also known as methyl-glycoccoll, is an amino acid intermediate naturally found in the metabolism of choline to glycine. Commercially, synthetic sarcosine is obtained by the reaction of methylamine with monochloracetic acid. It is adeliquescent crystal; sweet taste; dissolve in water, slightly soluble in alcohol; decomposes at 208 C. It is used in manufacturing biodegradable surfactants and toothpastes as well as in biological applications. Sarcosinate Surfactants are mild, biodegradable anionic surfactants derived from fatty acids and sarcosine (amino acid). These compounds fovor lather building and resistance to sebum delathering in cleaners, polymers, industrial chemicals, petroleum and lubricant products.
