Description

n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Undec-10-Enamide is a specialty fatty acid amide derivative, also known as Undecylenic Acid Monoethanolamide. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid moiety with a hydrophilic ethanolamide group. Its primary commercial significance lies in its role as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in high-performance formulations. Key industries that utilize this chemical include personal care, pharmaceuticals, and specialty polymer manufacturing.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a non-ionic surfactant, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Polymer Additives: Functions as a slip agent, anti-blocking agent, and processing aid in the production of plastics and synthetic fibers.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Used as a corrosion inhibitor and friction modifier in industrial lubricant formulations.
• Specialty Surfactants: A precursor for the manufacture of alkoxylated surfactants and other specialty surface-active agents.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying amide chemistry and developing new materials.
