Tallow Diamine EO
3 EO
Tallow Diamine 3 EO is an ethoxylated fatty diamine derived from tallow, containing approximately three ethylene oxide (EO) units. It usually appears as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid with a mild amine odor, offering improved water solubility compared to non-ethoxylated diamines. The presence of dual amine groups and EO chains provides excellent surface activity, emulsifying, and corrosion-inhibiting properties. In the oil and gas industry, Tallow Diamine 3 EO is used as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and asphaltene dispersant in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and pipeline treatments. It effectively forms protective films on metal surfaces, stabilizes emulsions, and enhances the dispersion of heavy organics, helping to protect equipment and improve fluid handling.
12 EO
Tallow Diamine 12 EO is a highly ethoxylated fatty diamine derived from tallow, containing approximately twelve ethylene oxide (EO) units. It typically appears as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid with a mild amine odor and enhanced water solubility compared to lower ethoxylated analogs. The combination of dual amine groups and extended EO chains provides excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and corrosion-inhibiting properties. In the oil and gas industry, Tallow Diamine 12 EO is used as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and asphaltene dispersant in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and pipeline treatments. It effectively stabilizes oil-water emulsions, forms protective films on metal surfaces, and aids in the dispersion of heavy organics, improving flow assurance and equipment protection.
15 EO
Tallow Diamine 15 EO is a highly ethoxylated fatty diamine derived from tallow, incorporating approximately fifteen ethylene oxide (EO) units. It appears as a pale yellow to amber, viscous liquid with a mild amine-like odor and is fully soluble in water and polar solvents due to its high EO content. This combination of a hydrophobic C16–C18 alkyl backbone and multiple EO groups imparts excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and corrosion-inhibiting properties. In the oil and gas industry, Tallow Diamine 15EO is used in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and pipeline treatments as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and asphaltene or paraffin dispersant. It forms durable protective films on metal surfaces, improves water-in-oil emulsion stability, and enhances compatibility across a range of hydrocarbon and aqueous systems.
