Description

N,n-Dimethyl-1-Heptylnonylamine is a tertiary amine surfactant with a long, branched hydrocarbon chain, offering unique surface-active properties. This compound is valued for its effectiveness as an intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds and as a versatile surfactant in demanding formulations. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, and personal care sectors seeking high-performance, oil-soluble amine functionalities.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: A key precursor for manufacturing quaternary ammonium salts (quats) used as biocides, fabric softeners, and antistatic agents.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in heavy-duty degreasers, metalworking fluids, and industrial detergent formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifying agent and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spreading and efficacy.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care products and cosmetic creams, where oil solubility is required.
• Petroleum Additives: Employed as a detergent and dispersant additive in fuel and lubricant packages to prevent deposit formation.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a base or catalyst in organic synthesis reactions and as a building block for specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our N,n-Dimethyl-1-Heptylnonylamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including amine value, purity, and color. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its basic nature and susceptibility to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
