Description

N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Nonan-1-Amide is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate derived from pelargonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and solubilizing properties, making it a key component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle, non-irritating emulsifier and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates for improved efficacy and stability.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber production and fabric finishing.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Functions as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface detergents.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a building block or intermediate for the production of more complex surfactants and specialty chemicals.
