Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine

Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine (CAS 60270-33-9), also known commercially as Amidet, is a long-chain fatty amide amine derived from behenic acid used as a conditioning and functional intermediate.

Where is Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine used?

• Personal care: precursor to quaternary ammonium compounds and betaines, with surface-active, emulsifying and rheology-modifying performance
• Hair care: conditioning agents that deposit on hair fiber to reduce static and improve combability
• Shampoos and conditioners: direct incorporation for viscosity
• Skin care and leave-on products: modify surface wetting and improve spreadability of emollient systems
• It also functions as a pH buffer in rinse-off formulations, helping maintain system stability across processing and storage conditions.

Commercial specifications

• Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suited for personal care end products
• Packaging typically ranges from fiber drums to bulk quantities
