Description

Tallowamine is a primary amine derived from tallow fatty acids, serving as a versatile cationic surfactant and chemical intermediate. Its amphiphilic nature provides excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and antistatic properties, making it a critical component in numerous industrial formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, asphalt, and mineral processing who require reliable, high-performance raw materials for their processes.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and adjuvant in herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, enhancing spray coverage and plant absorption.
• Asphalt Additives: Used as an antistripping agent to improve the adhesion between asphalt and aggregate, increasing road durability.
• Mineral Flotation: Serves as a cationic collector in the flotation process for beneficiating minerals like quartz and feldspar.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: A fundamental building block in formulating corrosion inhibitor packages for oilfield and industrial water treatment applications.
• Personal & Home Care: Utilized as a raw material for manufacturing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) used in fabric softeners and hair conditioners.
• Chemical Synthesis: An important intermediate for producing other amines, amides, and various specialty surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Tallowamine is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including amine value, iodine value, and composition analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide.
