What is dimethyl 9-decenamide

Dimethyl 9-decenamide is derived from renewable sourcing. It is safe, non-toxic, and helps pull away tough dirt from clothes that other detergents may not remove.


Why do we use dimethyl 9-decenamide


This chemical is a surfactant that helps clean and pull grease and soil out of clothing. It is readily biodegradable.  Dimethyl 9-decenamide is soluble in a wide range of solutions— which makes it easy to work with when designing products.   

Is dimethyl 9-decenamide safe to use? Is it nontoxic?

Yes, dimethyl 9-decenamide is safe to use.  We currently use a fractional amount of this ingredient in our laundry detergent to help pull grease and soil from garments. In producing our products, a small amount of dimethyl 9-decenamide is diluted in water. Then it is diluted again in wash water during the product’s use. The percent leaving as wastewater is very, very low.

In Summary

Rustic Strength uses dimethyl 9-decenamide to help clean and pull grease and soil out of garments.  It is readily biodegradable and used worldwide as a cleaner and degreaser. It is safe and non-toxic
