Description

n-Isopropyloctadecylamine is a high-purity, long-chain tertiary amine with a branched isopropyl group. This specific molecular structure provides excellent solubility in organic media and unique surface-active properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought after by formulators and process chemists in the agrochemical, lubricant additive, and specialty surfactant industries for its role in creating cationic compounds and performance-enhancing agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediates: A key building block for synthesizing quaternary ammonium salt herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used to manufacture corrosion inhibitors, dispersants, and anti-wear agents that improve the performance and longevity of industrial oils and fuels.
• Specialty Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Serves as a precursor for cationic surfactants used in fabric softeners, asphalt emulsifiers, and anti-static agents.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of certain amine-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and conditioning agents for personal care products.
• Mineral Processing & Flotation Agents: Acts as a collector or modifier in the froth flotation process for separating valuable ores.
• Epoxy Curing Agents & Resin Modifiers: Imparts flexibility and specific curing characteristics to epoxy resin systems.

Quality Control

Our n-Isopropyloctadecylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and titration methods, to ensure consistent purity and meet precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 acids and oxidizing agents. As a strong alkali/organic solvent, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
