Description

Oleylamine is a long-chain primary amine derived from oleic acid, characterized by its unsaturated C18 hydrocarbon chain. This unique structure makes it a versatile intermediate and functional additive, prized for its surfactant properties and ability to act as a corrosion inhibitor or surface modifier. It is essential for manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, materials science, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Used in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds, amides, and other nitrogen-containing derivatives.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis & Capping Agent: Crucial for the controlled synthesis and stabilization of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles (e.g., quantum dots, gold nanoparticles).
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Forms a protective film on metal surfaces, making it valuable in industrial lubricants and fuel additives.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions as a non-ionic surfactant in formulations for textiles, agrochemicals, and coatings.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care and skincare products.
• Mineral Flotation Agent: Used as a collector in the beneficiation of minerals like potash and phosphate.
• Rubber & Plastic Additive: Serves as an internal lubricant and anti-static agent in polymer processing.
