Description

(Z)-n-(2-Hydroxy-1,1-Dimethylethyl)-9-Octadecenamide is a high-purity, synthetic fatty acid amide derivative with a specific cis (Z) configuration. This compound is valued for its unique surfactant and emulsifying properties, derived from its amphiphilic structure containing both a long hydrocarbon chain and a polar hydroxy amide head group. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of advanced industrial lubricants, polymer processing aids, and specialty chemical intermediates where precise molecular structure and consistent performance are critical.

Application

• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Additive: Functions as a friction modifier, anti-wear agent, and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
• Polymer & Plastic Processing Aid: Acts as an internal and external lubricant, slip agent, and anti-blocking agent in polymer extrusion and molding.
• Specialty Surfactant Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing more complex nonionic surfactants and emulsifiers.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used as an emollient and viscosity modifier in creams and lotions, offering a smooth skin feel.
• Textile & Fiber Auxiliary: Employed as a softening agent and spin finish for synthetic fibers to improve processability and hand feel.
• Coating & Ink Additive: Enhances flow, leveling, and substrate wetting in various coating systems.
