Description

12-Tricosanamine is a long-chain primary amine with the CAS number 22513-17-3, valued for its surfactant and chemical intermediate properties. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to modify surface properties and act as a precursor in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds and other specialty chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking to develop formulations with specific emulsifying, conditioning, or biocidal characteristics.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Used as a raw material for producing cationic surfactants in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and industrial cleaners.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salt-based herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Employed in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors for oilfield and industrial water treatment applications.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Acts as an intermediate for conditioning agents and emulsifiers in shampoos, creams, and lotions.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Utilized in the production of softening and anti-static agents for the textile industry.
• Biocide Synthesis: A precursor for manufacturing specific quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) with disinfectant properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Finds use in organic synthesis for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for studying long-chain amine chemistry and developing novel materials.

Quality Control

Our 12-Tricosanamine is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed against comprehensive specifications, including identity, assay, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting the results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

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