Description

Amides, Tall-Oil Fatty, N,n-Bis(Hydroxyethyl) is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable tall oil fatty acids. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, lubricating, and anti-static properties, making it a key component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the polymer, textile, and metalworking industries for its ability to enhance processability and final product quality.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as an internal and external lubricant, slip agent, and anti-blocking agent in PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics processing.
• Textile Auxiliary: Used as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber spinning and fabric finishing to improve handle and processing efficiency.
• Metalworking Fluid: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting, grinding, and drawing fluids.
• Industrial Lubricants: Functions as a friction modifier and emulsifier in grease and oil formulations for machinery and automotive applications.
• Coating & Ink Additive: Enhances pigment wetting, flow, and leveling in solvent-based and water-based coating systems.
• Personal Care: Employed as a thickener, opacifier, and emulsion stabilizer in cream and lotion formulations.

Quality Control

Our Amides, Tall-Oil Fatty, N,n-Bis(Hydroxyethyl) is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as amine value, color, and moisture content are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
