N-Methyltaurine sodium salt anhydrous is an organic compound used primarily as an intermediate in the manufacture of N-acyl methyltaurate surfactants, such as sodium methyl cocoyl taurate (Igepon T type), which are mild anionic surfactants used in personal care and cleaning formulations. It is reacted with fatty acid chlorides or fatty acids to form these acyl taurate derivatives. This anhydrous sodium salt has a CAS number of 4316-74-9, a molecular formula of NH(CH3)CH2CH2SO3Na, and a molecular weight of 161.15 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its hazardous classification (Signal Word: Danger). Molekula supplies N-Methyltaurine sodium salt anhydrous from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
