Description

n-(2-Aminoethyl)Dodecanamide is a high-purity fatty acid amide derivative, also known as lauric acid amidoethylamine, characterized by its unique bifunctional structure containing both a long alkyl chain and a primary amine group. This molecular architecture provides excellent surface activity and reactivity, making it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing specialized surfactants and functional polymers. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop products with enhanced emulsifying, conditioning, or corrosion-inhibiting properties.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing cationic, amphoteric, or nonionic surfactants used in hair conditioners, fabric softeners, and industrial cleaners.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulations: Used in the development of film-forming amine-based corrosion inhibitors for oilfield, refinery, and cooling water treatment applications.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for synthesizing herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators that require fatty amine functionality.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the manufacture of conditioning agents, viscosity modifiers, and opacifiers for shampoos, creams, and lotions.
• Epoxy Curing Agents & Modifiers: Acts as a reactive diluent or curing agent modifier to impart flexibility and hydrophobicity to epoxy resin systems.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used to create dispersants, detergents, and anti-wear additives for engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliaries: Functions as a softener, water repellent, or dye-fixing agent in textile and leather processing.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and specialty esters for advanced formulations.

Quality Control

Our n-(2-Aminoethyl)Dodecanamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration or HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and control of key impurities, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial and specialty applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and batch-to-batch consistency are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. Store away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
