Description

6-Aminoundecane is a versatile long-chain primary amine with significant industrial utility. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polymers, offering a unique combination of lipophilic character and reactive functionality. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the agrochemical, lubricant additive, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to modify surface properties or introduce nitrogen-based functionalities into complex molecules.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Acts as a key building block for the synthesis of cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in fabric softeners, personal care products, and industrial cleaners.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Employed in the production of filming amines and other compounds that protect metal surfaces in cooling water systems, boilers, and oilfield applications.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a chain extender, cross-linking agent, or functional monomer in the manufacture of polyamides, epoxy curing agents, and polyurethane dispersions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as an intermediate in the production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators that require a long-chain amine moiety.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive: Incorporated into formulations to improve detergency, dispersancy, and anti-wear properties in engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.

Quality Control

Our 6-Aminoundecane is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or titration and impurity profile analysis, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test 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) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation and maintain purity.
