Description

Acetamide, 2,2,2,2-(1,2-Ethanediyldinitrilo)Tetrakis-, N,N,N,N,N,N,N,n-Octa-C12-18-Alkyl Derivs. is a high-purity, multi-functional chelating agent and surfactant derived from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). This specialized chemical is valued for its powerful metal ion sequestration capabilities and surface-active properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring advanced stabilization, emulsification, and metal deactivation, such as lubricants, personal care, and specialty cleaning products.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Acts as a multifunctional component, serving as a metal deactivator, detergent, and dispersant to prevent oxidation and sludge formation in engine oils and industrial greases.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a chelating agent and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products to stabilize formulations by sequestering trace metal ions that can cause rancidity or discoloration.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Enhances the performance of heavy-duty alkaline and solvent-based cleaners by chelating hard water ions and improving surface wetting and soil suspension.
• Metalworking Fluids: Provides corrosion inhibition and stabilizes emulsions in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, extending fluid life and protecting machined parts.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a chelating agent in dyeing and finishing baths to improve color fastness and process consistency by controlling metal ion interference.
• Polymer & Plastic Stabilization: Employed as a co-stabilizer to scavenge catalytic metal residues that can accelerate the thermal degradation of polymers during processing.
