Description

Oleonitrile CAS NO 112-91-4 is a versatile long-chain fatty nitrile derived from oleic acid, serving as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of high-value specialty chemicals. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a nitrile group and a long hydrocarbon chain, makes it an essential building block for creating surfactants, lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors. This product is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the agrochemical, polymer, and personal care industries for its role in producing amines, amides, and other functional derivatives.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediates: A key precursor for synthesizing quaternary ammonium compounds used as herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Surfactant & Detergent Manufacturing: Used to produce amine oxides and betaines, which are essential components in high-performance, mild personal care products and industrial cleaners.
• Lubricant Additives: Serves as a starting material for creating fatty amines and imidazolines that act as effective corrosion inhibitors and friction modifiers in metalworking fluids and engine oils.
• Polymer Modification: Employed in the production of polyamides and other polymers to enhance flexibility, water resistance, and compatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients requiring long alkyl chains.
• Oilfield Chemicals: A component in formulating drilling fluid additives and demulsifiers for crude oil processing.
