Description

1-(Dodecylamino)Propan-2-Ol is a versatile amino alcohol surfactant characterized by a long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a hydrophilic amino alcohol head group. This amphiphilic structure is critical for its function as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, and corrosion inhibitor in demanding industrial formulations. It is an essential intermediate for manufacturers in the agrochemical, personal care, and coatings industries seeking to improve product stability and performance. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for your production needs.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and dispersant in the formulation of agricultural pesticides and herbicides.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and additive in metalworking fluids, lubricants, and industrial cleaning systems.
• As a conditioning agent and viscosity modifier in personal care products such as hair conditioners and skin creams.
• As a surfactant and grinding aid in the production of pigments and dyes for paints and coatings.
• As an intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• In the formulation of textile auxiliaries for improved fiber processing and finishing.
