Description

Amines, Di-C14-18-Alkyl is a high-purity, long-chain tertiary amine derived from C14-C18 fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent surfactant properties, acting as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in demanding industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and lubricant industries seeking to enhance product performance, stability, and surface activity.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: A key raw material for producing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), betaines, and amine oxides used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and disinfectants.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in fuel and lubricant additive packages to protect metal surfaces in industrial and automotive applications.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticides and herbicides, improving sprayability and active ingredient delivery.
• Personal Care Products: Functions as a conditioning agent and viscosity modifier in hair care and skin care products.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a component in drilling muds and production chemicals for demulsification and corrosion control.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Acts as a softener and antistatic agent in textile processing.
