Description

4-Tetradecylmorpholine (CAS NO 25727-93-9) is a high-purity, long-chain tertiary amine derivative of morpholine. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its surfactant properties and ability to act as a catalyst or corrosion inhibitor in specialized formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, lubricant, and specialty polymer industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• Utilized as a corrosion inhibitor and acid scavenger in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in polyurethane foam production and other polymerization processes.
• Employed as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in agrochemical formulations like pesticides and herbicides.
• Serves as a precursor for the manufacture of specialty surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Used in fuel additives to prevent deposit formation and improve combustion efficiency.
• Functions as a processing aid and antistatic agent in the plastics and rubber industries.
