Description

N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Decanamide is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate derived from capric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and solubilizing properties, making it a key functional ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for its performance and stability.

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 surfactant and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spreading and penetration.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for synthesizing more complex surfactants and specialty polymers.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing agent and flow promoter in water-based coating systems.
