C12-18 Alkyl Amines

C12-18 Alkyl Amines (CAS 68153-95-7) are a chain-length blend of primary fatty amines derived from natural or synthetic feedstocks.

Where is C12-18 Alkyl Amines used?

• Water treatment: corrosion inhibitors forming protective films on metal surfaces in cooling towers and pipeline systems
• Textile and leather: wetting and softening agents improving fiber penetration during dyeing and finishing
• Mining: flotation collectors and ore-surface modifiers separating mineral fractions in beneficiation circuits
• Industrial cleaning and home care: emulsification and dispersion actives that lift and suspend oils, soils and particulates from hard surfaces
• They function as cationic nitrogen intermediates to build surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and surface-active agents.

Good to know: Di-C12-18-alkyl amines represent the secondary amine fraction of the same range.
