Description

Octadecanamine CAS NO 124-30-1 is a long-chain primary aliphatic amine, also known as stearylamine. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its surfactant properties and its ability to act as a cationic modifier, corrosion inhibitor, and flotation agent. It is essential for manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, personal care, agrochemical, and mineral processing industries seeking reliable raw materials for formulation and production.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Key raw material for producing cationic surfactants, fabric softeners, and emulsifiers for personal care and industrial formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Used in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds, amine oxides, and other derivatives for various chemical processes.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Acts as an effective film-forming amine to protect metals in industrial water systems and lubricant additives.
• Mineral Flotation Agent: Serves as a cationic collector in the froth flotation process for beneficiating ores like potash and silica.
• Agrochemicals: Utilized in the formulation of pesticides and herbicides as an emulsifier and dispersing agent.
• Asphalt Additive: Improves the adhesion and coating properties of asphalt on aggregate surfaces in road construction.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliary: Functions as a softening agent, water repellent, and antistatic agent in textile and leather processing.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in specific formulations as an emulsifying agent or for its conditioning properties.
