Description

(Z)-N,n-Dimethyl-9-Octadecenylamine is a high-purity tertiary amine derivative of oleic acid, characterized by its long-chain unsaturated hydrocarbon tail. This compound serves as a versatile cationic intermediate and surfactant, valued for its emulsifying, antistatic, and corrosion-inhibiting properties. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, oil-soluble amine functionalities.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Key component in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and industrial emulsifiers.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in fuel and lubricant additive packages to protect metal surfaces in automotive and industrial applications.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for cationic surfactants in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance adhesion and penetration.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts antistatic and softening properties to synthetic fibers and fabrics during processing.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a component in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant and biocidal potentiating effects.
• Personal Care: Used as a precursor for mild, substantive conditioning agents in rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic products.
