Description

Morpholine, 4-(1-Oxooctadecyl)- is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid derivative of morpholine, identified by CAS NO 5299-54-7. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique amphiphilic structure which imparts both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, polymer, and industrial lubricant sectors for its efficacy as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and slip agent.

Application

• Corrosion Inhibitor: A key component in formulations for metalworking fluids, fuel additives, and boiler water treatments to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emulsifier, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Polymer & Resin Additive: Used as an internal or external lubricant and anti-static agent in PVC, polyolefins, and other plastic processing.
• Textile & Fiber Industry: Functions as a softening agent, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary for synthetic fibers.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Enhances the lubricity, stability, and anti-wear properties of synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable building block for the synthesis of more complex surfactants and quaternary ammonium compounds.
