Description

(2-Aminoethyl)Ammonium Palmitate is an organic salt formed from the reaction of palmitic acid with ethylenediamine. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, combining the properties of a long-chain fatty acid with a reactive amine group, making it a versatile intermediate and additive. It is primarily utilized in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, as a corrosion inhibitor, and as a key component in formulations for personal care, lubricants, and industrial coatings. The product is identified by the CAS registry number 100021-79-2.

Application

• Intermediate in the synthesis of cationic surfactants and emulsifiers.
• Corrosion inhibitor additive in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants.
• Conditioning agent and viscosity modifier in hair care and skincare formulations.
• Raw material for producing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats).
• Additive in textile auxiliaries and fabric softeners.
• Component in the manufacture of specialty waxes and polishes.
• Precursor for synthesizing pharmaceutical and agrochemical actives.
• Additive in paint and coating formulations to improve flow and adhesion.
