Description

n-(3-Hydroxypropyl)Myristamide is a fatty acid amide derivative, specifically the amide formed from myristic acid and 3-amino-1-propanol. This compound is valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties, derived from its amphiphilic structure containing both a long hydrocarbon chain and a polar hydroxyl group. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants where mildness and stability are required. Its unique structure makes it a versatile intermediate for further chemical synthesis.

Application

• As a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, and shampoos.
• As a viscosity modifier and conditioning agent in hair care products.
• As a lubricant and anti-static agent in textile and fiber manufacturing processes.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and additive in specialty industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• As a intermediate for the synthesis of more complex quaternary ammonium compounds and other specialty surfactants.
• In the formulation of mild, non-irritating cleansing products for sensitive skin.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
