Description

2-Aminotridecane is a long-chain primary amine with the CAS number 13205-57-7, serving as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional nature, containing both a reactive amino group and a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, making it a key building block for surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polymers. This compound is essential for industries such as agrochemicals, lubricant additives, and personal care, where its structure imparts unique surface-active and chemical properties.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Acts as a precursor for cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in industrial cleaners and fabric softeners.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Utilized in the synthesis of filming amines and other compounds that protect metal surfaces in oilfield, cooling water, and boiler systems.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive: Incorporated into formulations to improve anti-wear properties, detergency, and stability of industrial oils and fuels.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and conditioning agents for hair and skin care products.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Functions as a chain extender, curing agent, or modifier for epoxy resins, polyurethanes, and nylons to enhance flexibility and chemical resistance.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new organic reactions and material science applications.

Quality Control

Our 2-Aminotridecane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids. As a strong alkali/organic solvent, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
