Description

1-[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]-3-(Decyloxy)Propan-2-Ol is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate characterized by its unique structure combining a tertiary amine with multiple hydroxyl groups and a long alkyl chain. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and solubilizing properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stability and performance. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for developing high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle, non-irritating emulsifier and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a key surfactant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as an effective wetting agent and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic fluid formulations.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Employed as a dispersing agent to improve pigment wetting and stability in water-based coating systems.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use as a solubilizer and emulsifier in topical drug delivery systems.
