Description

Docosylamine is a high-purity, long-chain primary amine (C22) valued for its excellent surfactant and chemical intermediate properties. Its unique structure provides superior hydrophobicity and compatibility, making it a critical component in advanced formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant, corrosion inhibitor, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and anti-static agent in fuel and lubricant additive packages.
• As a flotation agent and collector in mineral processing for the beneficiation of ores.
• As an emulsifier and surfactant in the production of specialty coatings, paints, and polishes.
• As a chemical building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals requiring long alkyl chains.
• In the formulation of asphalt additives and road construction chemicals to improve adhesion and water resistance.

Quality Control

Our Docosylamine is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include assay, amine value, and color. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

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. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
