Description

2-(Amino)Oleic Acid is a functionalized fatty acid derivative featuring both a carboxylic acid and an amino group on its long hydrocarbon chain. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polymers. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the lubricant additives, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to impart amphiphilic and chelating properties.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Key intermediate for producing amphoteric and cationic surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Acts as a precursor for multifunctional additives that provide detergency, anti-wear, and corrosion inhibition properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in the formulation of high-performance corrosion inhibitors for metalworking fluids and oilfield chemicals.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or modifier for polyamides, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins to enhance flexibility, adhesion, or biocompatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatible fatty acid backbone.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Used to synthesize conditioning agents and emulsifiers for skin and hair care products.
