Description
Dodecylamine (CAS 124-22-1) is a primary aliphatic amine derived from lauric acid, commercially available under trade names including Armeen 12D, Alamine 4, and Laurinamine, and also referred to as lauramine or Amine C12. It carries no assigned E-code. Its molecular formula is C12H27N.
In plastics processing, dodecylamine functions as an antistatic agent and heat stabilizer by neutralizing acidic degradation products and reducing surface charge accumulation on polymer films. In personal care formulations, it acts as a hair conditioning agent through electrostatic adsorption onto negatively charged hair fibers, improving combability and reducing static.
Dodecylamine is supplied as a crystalline low-melting solid in technical and purified grades, with select grades meeting FCC specifications for flavor applications. The substance is registered under REACH (EC 204-690-6) and classified under HS code 29211980. Standard packaging includes fiber drums and IBCs for bulk procurement.
