Abstract
Abstract Amphoteric N-type betaines represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R f is C 4 -C 20 perfluoroalkyl; R 1 and R 2 are methyl or, together with the N atom to which they are bonded, form a piperidino, morpholino, or N-alkyl(c 1 -C 4 )piperazino group; and m is a whole number between 1 and 4 are highly effective in reducing the surface tension of water and of aqueous solutions of inorganic electrolytes, and can be used in environments where non-amphoteric surfactants would fail, e.g. highly acidic oil well applications.
