Description

n-[3-[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]Propyl]Hexadecan-1-Amide is a high-purity, non-ionic specialty surfactant and emulsifier derived from palmitic acid and diethanolamine. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antistatic properties, making it a versatile intermediate in demanding formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking reliable, high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing a rich, stable texture.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used as a conditioning agent and antistatic agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to improve manageability and shine.
• Skin Care Products: Serves as a non-irritating emulsifier and emollient in facial creams, body butters, and sunscreens.
• Industrial Surfactants: Functions as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex amphoteric and cationic surfactants for industrial cleaners.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed as a softening and antistatic agent in fabric conditioners and textile processing chemicals.
• Metalworking Fluids: Utilized as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.

Quality Control

Our n-[3-[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]Propyl]Hexadecan-1-Amide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and consistency for cosmetic and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and potential degradation. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
