Description

N(Hydroxymethyl)Alkane(C=13)Amide is a specialized fatty acid amide derivative, specifically the hydroxymethylated form of a C13 chain length amide. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique combination of hydrophobicity and reactive hydroxyl functionality. It is primarily utilized by formulators and process chemists in the personal care, lubricant, and polymer industries seeking to modify surface properties or introduce cross-linking sites. The product is supplied under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for industrial applications.

Application

• As a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants.
• As a hydrophobic modifier and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as creams and lotions.
• As a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of alkyd resins and other specialty polymers, where it can impart flexibility and water resistance.
• As a surface conditioning agent in textile and fiber treatments to provide softness and moisture management.
• As a foam stabilizer and viscosity modifier in various industrial cleaning and foaming products.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in specific polymer compositions to improve flow and mechanical properties.

Quality Control

Our N(Hydroxymethyl)Alkane(C=13)Amide is manufactured under a cGMP-compliant quality management system. Every production batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
