Description

2,2'-[[3-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Octadecylamino]Propyl]Imino]Diethanol is a versatile, high-molecular-weight tertiary amine ethoxylate surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and antistatic properties, derived from its unique structure combining a long hydrophobic alkyl chain with multiple hydrophilic ethanolamine groups. It is primarily sought by formulators in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating stable, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key emulsifier and viscosity modifier in hair conditioners, creams, lotions, and other leave-on formulations, providing a smooth feel and enhanced stability.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softening agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber processing and fabric finishing to improve handle and processing efficiency.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and metalworking fluids for effective soil removal and emulsion stability.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, improving color development and preventing settling in aqueous coating systems.
• Paper Manufacturing: Utilized as a softening and debonding agent in tissue paper production and as a dispersant in coating formulations.
