Dimethyl Lauryl-Myristyl amine

Dimethyl Lauryl-Myristyl Amine (CAS 84649-84-3, EC 283-464-9) is a tertiary amine derived from C12-C14 fatty alcohol feedstocks, commercially available under designations including DMA1265, DMA1270, and DMA1263. It is registered under REACH and classified within the broader category of long-chain aliphatic amines.

In water treatment, it functions as a precursor to quaternary ammonium biocides, where protonation at the nitrogen site enables electrostatic binding to negatively charged microbial membranes. In oilfield applications, it acts as a corrosion inhibitor by adsorbing onto metal surfaces to form a protective barrier against acidic media. Personal care formulators use it as an emulsification agent in conditioning systems.

This material is supplied in compliance with REACH registration requirements applicable to European markets. It is typically handled as a liquid at elevated temperatures and is available in intermediate bulk containers or drummed formats depending on order volume.
