1-Hexadecylamine CAS 143-27-1

Surfactants and the field of daily chemicals

Synthetic cationic surfactants: such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and cetyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (1627), are used in daily chemical products like shampoos, conditioners, and laundry detergents, serving functions of emulsification, sterilization, antistatic, and softening and conditioning.

As an emulsifier/dispersant: 1-Hexadecylamine is used in cosmetic, lubricating oil, coating and other systems to improve oil-water compatibility, enhance product stability and uniformity.

For hair conditioners: Directly or after modification, it can be added to hair care products to enhance the softness and smoothness of hair and reduce static adsorption.

Fine chemicals and material modification

As an organic synthesis intermediate: For the synthesis of fatty amine derivatives (such as amides, quaternary ammonium salts, Schiff bases), 1-Hexadecylamine is used in the preparation of rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, flotation agents, etc.

For metal corrosion inhibitors: 1-Hexadecylamine is used in fields such as oil extraction and mechanical processing. It adsorbs onto the metal surface to form a protective film, preventing metals like steel from being corroded.

As a fiber/plastic modifier: 1-Hexadecylamine is used for antistatic treatment of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, or for surface modification of plastic films, enhancing the skin-friendliness and processing performance of materials.

Other industrial applications

Used as a flotation agent for ores: 1-Hexadecylamine, in the beneficiation of non-ferrous metals, serves as a cation collector, selectively adsorbing the surface of minerals to achieve the separation of minerals from gangue.

For lubricating oil additives: Improve the lubricity, anti-wear and anti-rust properties of lubricating oil. 1-Hexadecylamine is suitable for lubrication requirements in mechanical, automotive and other fields.

Laboratory reagents: 1-Hexadecylamine is used as a catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, phase transfer catalysts, or for the preparation of special compounds.
