Description

2,2'-(Hexadecylimino)Bisethanol is a high-purity, long-chain tertiary amine diol surfactant. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, acting as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, and corrosion inhibitor in complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking stable, high-performance additives.

Application

• As a key emulsifying and dispersing agent in agricultural chemical formulations, including herbicides and pesticides.
• Primary corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in industrial metalworking fluids and lubricants.
• Stabilizer and emulsifier in personal care products such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• Additive in textile processing chemicals to improve dye leveling and fiber lubrication.
• Component in paint and coating formulations to enhance pigment wetting and dispersion.
• Raw material for producing specialty surfactants with cationic or amphoteric properties.
