Description

3,3'-(Dodecylimino)Bispropane-1,2-Diol is a specialty surfactant and chemical intermediate characterized by its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a long hydrophobic alkyl chain with hydrophilic diol and imino functionalities. This molecular architecture provides excellent surface activity, making it a valuable component for modifying interfacial properties in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance emulsion stability, dispersion, or bioactivity. The compound is supplied to meet the stringent quality and consistency requirements of industrial-scale manufacturing.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier, stabilizer, and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a surfactant and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve wetting, spreading, and foliar adhesion.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key ingredient in detergent systems for its degreasing and emulsifying properties.
• Polymer & Resin Additive: Functions as an internal lubricant, processing aid, or antistatic agent in plastic and polymer production.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of more complex molecules for drug delivery systems or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Textile & Leather Processing: Utilized as a softening agent, dye leveling agent, or finishing auxiliary.

Quality Control

Our 3,3'-(Dodecylimino)Bispropane-1,2-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes results from key tests such as assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding industrial and R&D applications where reliable performance and batch-to-batch uniformity are critical.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
