Description

n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Hexylheptanamide is a specialty amide compound with a unique bifunctional structure containing both a primary amine and a long alkyl chain. This molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, lubricant additives, and functional polymers. It is particularly relevant for industrial chemists and formulators in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturing sectors seeking to introduce amine functionality into hydrophobic systems.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in personal care products and industrial cleaners.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: Used to create friction modifiers and anti-wear agents for advanced lubricant formulations.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or chain extender to introduce amine groups into polyamides, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins, enhancing adhesion and cross-linking properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the production of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Its amine functionality makes it useful in creating compounds that protect metal surfaces in industrial processes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring a lipophilic amine linker.

Quality Control

Our n-(3-Aminopropyl)-n-Hexylheptanamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and determination of residual solvents, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
