NINOL® 30-LL is a high-active lauramide produced through a 1:1 reaction between the ester of lauric acid and diethanolamine. It functions as a lauryl dea amide, providing foam and viscosity building in various formulations, including shampoos, bubble baths, bath products, and detergents. Its liquid form at room temperature contributes to its ease of use.

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling NINOL 30-LL Contact with the eyes and the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
  • It is recommended that NINOL 30-LL be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures not exceeding 120°F (49°C). As with all DEA amides, if overheating does occur, amide ester will be formed. To reverse the reaction, NINOL 30-LL should be stored at room temperature for approximately one week. Failure to do so may result in formulated products with decreased foam and low viscosity.
