Description

(2-Hydroxy-1,1-Dimethylethyl)Ammonium Palmitate is an ammonium salt of palmitic acid, featuring a tertiary amino alcohol counterion. This compound is valued for its dual functionality as a fatty acid derivative and a source of a hindered amine, making it a versatile intermediate and additive. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, polymer, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring emulsification, pH adjustment, or as a precursor for quaternary ammonium compounds.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emulsifier, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Polymer Additives: Serves as an internal or external lubricant and acid scavenger/stabilizer in plastic and rubber processing.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softener and lubricant in fabric finishing to improve handle and processing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifying agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a key intermediate for synthesizing quaternary ammonium salts (quats) with specific surfactant properties.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing agent and grinding aid for pigments in various coating formulations.
