Description

n-(3-Aminopropyl)Hexadecan-1-Amide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derivative featuring a terminal primary amine group. This bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, emulsifiers, and specialized polymers. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for its unique combination of lipophilic character and reactive amine functionality.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key building block for creating cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in hair conditioners, fabric softeners, and industrial cleaners.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Intermediate for producing conditioning agents, viscosity modifiers, and emulsifying agents in shampoos, creams, and lotions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used in the synthesis of adjuvants, emulsifiers, and dispersants for pesticides and herbicides to enhance efficacy and stability.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in polyamide and polyurea synthesis, imparting flexibility and specific surface properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Intermediate for manufacturing film-forming amine-based corrosion inhibitors used in industrial water treatment and metalworking fluids.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Potential building block for lipid-based drug delivery systems and prodrug synthesis.

Quality Control

Our n-(3-Aminopropyl)Hexadecan-1-Amide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration or HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and control of key impurities, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
