Description

tert-C 11-14 Amine CAS NO 68955-53-3 is a high-purity, branched tertiary amine mixture with a carbon chain length of C11 to C14. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its strong basicity and solubility in organic solvents, making it a critical component in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds and other specialty surfactants. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, personal care, and oilfield chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance formulations.

Application

• Surfactant & Quaternary Ammonium Salt (Quat) Precursor: Primary intermediate for manufacturing cationic surfactants used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and disinfectants.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators as a key building block.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor intermediate and a component in drilling fluid additives and demulsifiers.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reactants in immiscible phases in organic synthesis.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Employed as a curing agent or catalyst in epoxy systems and other polymer formulations.
• Metal Extraction & Purification: Utilized as an extractant in hydrometallurgical processes for the separation and recovery of metals.
