Bis(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)amines

Bis(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)amines (CAS 61789-79-5), also known commercially as Armeen HT, is a secondary amine derived from hydrogenated tallow fatty acids. It functions as a corrosion inhibitor, lubricant additive, and surface-active agent across multiple industrial sectors.

In metalworking and lubricant formulations, it acts as a corrosion inhibitor and boundary lubricant, protecting metal surfaces under high-load conditions. Coatings and adhesives manufacturers incorporate it as a surface modifier to improve substrate adhesion.

This chemical improves wetting on low-energy surfaces during the manufacturing process. In plastics processing, it functions as an internal or external slip agent, reducing friction between polymer surfaces during film production and handling.

Textile and leather processors use it as a softening and antistatic agent in finishing formulations. Controlled surface interaction is critical to end-product performance in these specific industrial applications.

The product is typically supplied as a solid or waxy paste at ambient temperature, with liquid form available at elevated temperatures. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering for most industrial buyers.

Purity and amine value specifications vary by supplier and end-use requirement. Packaging options commonly include drums and bulk quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes for large-scale operations.
