Erucamidopropyl Dimethylamine Applications
-
Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance conditioning agent in shampoos and conditioners, providing excellent wet and dry combability while reducing static electricity.
-
Skin Care Products: Functions as an emollient and emulsifier in lotions and creams, imparting a smooth, non-greasy skin feel due to its long-chain erucic acid derivative structure.
-
Surfactant Intermediate: Used as a precursor to synthesize betaines (e.g., Erucamidopropyl Betaine) and amine oxides, which are known for their extreme mildness and thickening properties.
-
Viscoelastic Surfactant (VES): Extensively utilized in the oil and gas industry as a thickening agent for hydraulic fracturing fluids, providing high viscosity and stability at elevated temperatures.
-
Textile Softener: Applied in textile processing to improve the hand-feel and softness of fabrics without affecting their hydrophilicity significantly.
Erucamidopropyl Dimethylamine Packaging & Shipping
Standard Packaging: 180 kg plastic drums or 900 kg IBC tanks.
Customizable Packaging: Available in smaller 25 kg pails or specialized bulk containers upon request.
Shipping Precautions: Not classified as a dangerous good for transport (non-ADR/IMDG). Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and maintain temperature above its pour point if liquid handling is required.
Erucamidopropyl Dimethylamine Storage
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry area, preferably between 15 C and 30 C.
Protection: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and direct sunlight to prevent color degradation.
Segregation: Store in original packaging; avoid contact with acids which may neutralize the amine functionality.
