Alkyl imidazolines

Alkyl imidazolines (CAS 61791-39-7) are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds derived from tall oil fatty acids, used for corrosion inhibition and surface modification.

Where is Alkyl imidazolines used?

• Oil and gas: corrosion inhibitor packages for pipelines, downhole equipment and production tubing in acidic or saline conditions
• Metalworking and lubricants: cutting fluids and rust-preventive coatings for ferrous surfaces
• Textile and leather: softening and wetting agents for fiber lubrication and surface uniformity
• Industrial and institutional cleaning: emulsifiers for oil-in-water systems and soil dispersion
• They are produced from renewable tall oil feedstock.

Commercial specifications

• Active content commonly 90–100%
