Description

n-[2-[[2-[[2-[(2-Aminoethyl)Amino]Ethyl]Amino]Ethyl]Amino]Ethyl]Myristamide Monoacetate is a specialized, high-purity cationic surfactant and complexing agent derived from myristic acid and a polyamine backbone. This compound matters for its unique ability to modify surface properties and chelate metal ions, offering enhanced performance in formulations requiring cationic activity and controlled interaction. Industries such as personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical synthesis need this material for its multifunctional capabilities as an emulsifier, conditioning agent, and intermediate.

Application

• Hair Care & Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a highly effective cationic conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams, providing excellent substantivity and softness.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softener, antistatic agent, and dye-leveling agent for synthetic and natural fibers, improving fabric hand feel and processing.
• Metalworking Fluids & Corrosion Inhibitors: Serves as a key component in synthetic coolants and lubricants, where its chelating properties help control water hardness and prevent scale formation.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Functions as a retention aid, drainage aid, and softening agent in paper production, enhancing paper strength and quality.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: A valuable building block (intermediate) for synthesizing more complex quaternary ammonium compounds, dendrimers, and other functional polymers.
• Biocide & Disinfectant Potentiator: Enhances the efficacy of certain preservatives and disinfectants in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.

Quality Control

Our n-[2-[[2-[[2-[(2-Aminoethyl)Amino]Ethyl]Amino]Ethyl]Amino]Ethyl]Myristamide Monoacetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and appearance are provided and available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
