Abstract: Agricultural products, such as pesticides, plant growth regulators, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, may be formulated to include one or more surfactants, from one or more surfactant classes, such as derivatives of amino acids that have surface-active properties.

Abstract: Surfactants for use in formulations and processes suitable for hydrocarbon recovery. These formulations, include formulations suitable for fracking, enhancing oil and or gas recovery, and the recovery and/or production of bio-based oils.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides siloxane derivatives of amino acids that have surface-active properties. The amino acid can be naturally-occurring or synthetic, or they may be obtained via a ring-opening reaction of a lactam, such as caprolactam. The amino acid may be functionalized with a siloxane group to form a compound that is surface-active and has surfactant characteristics. The compounds have low critical micelle concentrations (CMC) as well as the ability to lower the surface tension of a liquid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides derivatives of amino acids that have branched alkyl structures and surface-active properties. The amino acid can be naturally-occurring or synthetic, or they may be obtained via a ring-opening reaction of a lactam, such as caprolactam. The amino acid may be functionalized to form a compound that is surface-active and have advantageous surfactant characteristics. The compounds of the present disclosure have low critical micelle concentrations (CMC) as well as superior ability to lower the surface tension of a liquid.

Abstract: Caprolactam-derived solvents for use as processing solvents and/or coalescing agents for polyurethane dispersions (PUDs). The caprolactam-derived solvents are suitable for processing solvents and coalescing agents in PUDs created through traditional PUD manufacturing processes or as coalescing agents in PUDs created through solvent-free PUD manufacturing processes. Blends of more than one caprolactam-derived solvent may be used as the processing solvent and/or coalescing agent.
