Description

2-(Undecylamino)Ethanol is a versatile fatty amino alcohol surfactant and intermediate with a unique amphiphilic structure. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, combining a long hydrophobic alkyl chain with a hydrophilic ethanolamine group, making it an effective emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor. It is primarily needed by formulators in the lubricant, metalworking fluid, and personal care industries seeking high-performance additives.

Application

• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Additive: Acts as a friction modifier, emulsifier, and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Used in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, degreasers, and emulsion polymerization processes.
• Personal Care Ingredient: Serves as a conditioning agent, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in hair care and skincare products.
• Chemical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), betaines, and other specialty surfactants.
• Textile & Leather Processing Aid: Functions as a softener, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as a surfactant and demulsifier component.
