Description

2-Hydroxy-n-((3-Octyloxy)Propyl)Acetamide (CAS NO 180982-91-6) is a specialized organic compound featuring a unique amphiphilic structure, combining a polar hydroxyacetamide group with a long-chain octyloxypropyl moiety. This molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate and functional additive in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is primarily utilized by industries requiring surface-active properties, solubilization, or specific chemical reactivity in their processes.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants for industrial and specialty cleaning formulations.
• Polymer Additive: Acts as a plasticizer, stabilizer, or compatibilizer in polymer systems to modify flexibility and processing characteristics.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a key ingredient in the production of emulsifiers and viscosity modifiers for creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additive: Employed as a component in additive packages to enhance lubricity, dispersancy, or corrosion inhibition.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Functions as a co-solvent or penetrant adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve efficacy.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the research and development of drug candidates requiring specific lipid-like properties for delivery.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for organic synthesis, particularly in creating molecules with tailored hydrophilicity.
