Description

Amines, C12-14-Alkyldimethyl is a high-purity, long-chain tertiary amine surfactant derived from C12-14 fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, antistatic, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile intermediate in industrial and specialty chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and agrochemical industries for producing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), fabric softeners, and corrosion inhibitors.

Application

• Quaternary Ammonium Compound (Quat) Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for manufacturing cationic surfactants used in disinfectants, sanitizers, and fabric softeners.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care products, skin creams, and lotions.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Functions as an effective antistatic agent and softener for synthetic fibers and fabrics.
• Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Acts as a component in formulations for industrial and institutional cleaners due to its surfactant properties.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Used in oilfield and metalworking fluid formulations to protect against rust and corrosion.
• Asphalt Emulsification: Aids in the stabilization of asphalt emulsions for road construction and maintenance.
