Octadecylamine

Octadecylamine (CAS 124-30-1), also known as stearamine, is a long-chain primary amine derived from stearic acid.

Where is Octadecylamine used?

• Metalworking and lubricants: corrosion inhibitor and boundary lubricant additive that forms a protective monolayer on metal surfaces to prevent oxidation and wear
• Textiles and paper: softening and antistatic agent
• Plastics processing: internal lubricant and slip agent that reduces friction between polymer surfaces during extrusion and film production
• Personal care: conditioning products and emulsions
• It functions as a surface-active agent and chemical intermediate.

Good to know: Specifications vary by supplier; buyers should confirm amine value and purity profile. Ensure the material meets your specific application requirements before beginning large-scale production.

Commercial specifications

• Purity levels ranging from 90% to 99%
