Description

n-(1-Hexylheptyl)Amine is a branched-chain primary amine with a C13 alkyl backbone, offering a unique combination of lipophilicity and reactivity. This chemical matters as a versatile intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polymers, where its specific structure imparts valuable performance characteristics. Industries such as lubricant additives, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical research need it for developing high-performance formulations.

Application

• Intermediate for the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) used as fabric softeners and biocides.
• Key building block in the production of oil-soluble corrosion inhibitors for the petroleum industry.
• Raw material for manufacturing specialty surfactants and emulsifiers with low water solubility.
• Precursor in agrochemical synthesis for creating amine-based pesticides and herbicides.
• Used in lubricant additive packages to improve detergency and anti-wear properties.
• Employed in organic synthesis for introducing long-chain alkylamino groups into target molecules.
• Potential use in the preparation of ion-exchange resins and polymer modifiers.

Quality Control

Our n-(1-Hexylheptyl)Amine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or titration and identification by FTIR, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizers and acids.
