Description

2-[2-Hydroxyethyl(Tridecyl)Amino]Ethanol is a tertiary amine-based surfactant and chemical intermediate with a unique branched alkyl chain structure. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and antistatic properties, making it a versatile performer in demanding formulations. Industries requiring high-performance surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, or specialty chemical synthesis will find this product valuable for enhancing product stability and functionality.

Application

• Primary surfactant and emulsifier in industrial cleaning formulations and degreasers.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• Corrosion inhibitor and antistatic agent in metalworking fluids and fuel additives.
• Dispersing agent for pigments and fillers in coatings, inks, and polymer systems.
• Emulsifier and stabilizer in agricultural chemical formulations (pesticides, herbicides).
• Component in personal care products requiring mild, non-irritating surfactants.
• Additive for improving dye leveling and absorption in textile processing.
• Raw material for producing amphoteric surfactants with enhanced compatibility.
