Description

N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Dodecanamide is a specialty amide surfactant and chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophobic dodecanamide chain with hydrophilic hydroxypropyl groups, which imparts excellent emulsifying and solubilizing properties. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating stable emulsions and enhancing the performance of active ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as a surfactant and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve foliar spreading and uptake.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in degreasers and heavy-duty cleaning concentrates for its emulsification power.
• Lubricant and Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a coupling agent and corrosion inhibitor additive.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatment.
• Polymer Additive: Can be used as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid in plastic formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: The reactive hydroxyl groups make it a versatile building block for further chemical modifications.

Quality Control

Our N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Dodecanamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and other critical parameters are available upon request for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
