Description

3-Carboxy-W-Heptadecenamidopropyl Dimethylamine is a high-purity, functionalized fatty acid amidoamine derivative. This specialty surfactant intermediate is valued for its unique amphoteric structure, offering excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antistatic properties. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking to formulate high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skin care formulations (creams, lotions).
• Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate for producing novel amphoteric and cationic surfactants with tailored properties.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Used as a softener and antistatic agent to improve the handle and processing of synthetic and natural fibers.
• Industrial Emulsions: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in various oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsion systems.
• Lubricant Additives: Imparts anti-wear and friction-modifying characteristics in specialty lubricant formulations.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Employed as a component in corrosion inhibitor packages for industrial water treatment and metalworking fluids.
