AMIDS (Amide Surfactant)

  • Nonionic surfactants
  • CAS 68155-20-4
  • IUPAC: Fatty acid amide surfactant

Fatty acid amide-based surfactant used at trace concentrations (≤0.001%). Low hazard profile at these use levels; no H-code classifications expected at trace concentrations in finished product formulas.

AMIDS (CAS 68155-20-4) is a fatty acid amide surfactant used at trace concentrations to improve wetting behavior and formula stability. At the ≤0.001% concentrations common in polish formulas, this ingredient contributes no meaningful health or environmental concern. Biodegradable.
