Description

9-Octadecenoic Acid (9Z)-, Ester With 2,2'-(Methylimino)Bis[Ethanol] is a high-purity chemical intermediate derived from oleic acid, valued for its bifunctional nature combining a fatty acid chain with an ethanolamine moiety. This unique structure makes it a versatile building block for formulators seeking to introduce both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, amine-reactive properties into their products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries for creating emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and functional polymer additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of emulsifiers, opacifiers, and viscosity modifiers for creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Used to formulate corrosion inhibitors and friction modifiers, enhancing the performance and longevity of industrial lubricants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a reactive monomer or plasticizer additive to improve flexibility, adhesion, and processing characteristics of various polymers.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliaries: Employed in the production of softeners, finishing agents, and dyeing assistants to impart desirable properties to fabrics and leather.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Surfactant Synthesis: A crucial precursor for manufacturing nonionic and cationic surfactants used in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
