Fatty amines, C10H28N4, are normal aliphatic amines from oils and fats.  Fatty amine products are used as a dispersing agent or internal/external lubricant in polymer production and to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid compounding materials, enhancing processability, decreasing friction and abrasion,  to contribute to color stability, and for corrosion prevention.

Applications include:

  • Cationic surfactants (disinfectants, fungicides, germicide, leveling agents, hair rinse bases, wood preservatives, textile softeners, dyeing auxiliaries, ore flotation. pigment grinding aids. anticaking agents)
  • Amphoteric surfactants and Amine oxides (antistatic agent, textile scouring agent, ingredient for low irritation shampoo, liquid detergent, foam booster, oil recovery agent)
  • Corrosion inhibitors and asphalt emulsifier
  • Dispersants, lubricants, and water treatment agents
