N-oleyldiethanolamine

N-Oleyldiethanolamine (CAS 13127-82-7), also sold under the trade name Berol 302, is a fatty amine ethoxylate derived from oleic acid used across industrial and personal care markets. It functions as a lubricant, emulsifier, and surface-active agent, enabling stable formulations and improved substrate wetting in demanding processing environments.

In metalworking fluids and cutting oils, it provides boundary lubrication and corrosion inhibition, extending tool life and improving surface finish quality for industrial manufacturing. Personal care formulators incorporate it into hair conditioning and skin emollient products, where its fatty chain delivers substantivity to treated surfaces for better performance.

Textile and leather processors use it as a softening and wetting agent during fiber treatment, dyeing, and finishing operations to ensure high-quality material output. In plastics processing, it functions as an internal or external lubricant and antistatic additive, reducing friction during compounding and improving surface release properties.

N-Oleyldiethanolamine is supplied as an amber to yellow liquid at ambient conditions. It is available primarily in technical grade, suitable for industrial lubricant and polymer applications. Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC containers, with bulk supply options available through specialty chemical distributors to meet various commercial requirements.
