Sodium sarcosinate, also known as sodium N-methylglycinate, is an amino acid-based surfactant with the appearance of a colorless to light yellow liquid. Sodium sarcosinate is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, aqueous solution is alkaline, easy to decompose when heated, and partially decomposed into dimethylamine and carbon dioxide. Sodium sarcosinate has the characteristics of non-irritation, easy biodegradation and sterilization, and is widely used in daily chemical products, health care products, dyes, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and other fields.

In the field of daily chemical products, sodium sarcosinate can be used as an active agent to make high-grade medicinal soaps, shampoos, toothpastes and other products; In the field of health care products, sodium creatine can be prepared from creatine, which is a nutritional preparation that promotes cell growth and provides energy; In the field of dyes, sodium sarcosinate can be used as a dyeing aid; In the chemical industry, sodium sarcosinate can be prepared with creatine monohydrate, N-acyl sarcosine and sodium salt.
