Behenyl Amine
Behenyl Amine is a long-chain primary aliphatic amine derived from behenic acid (docosanoic acid). It typically appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or paste. It is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and hydrocarbons. Behenyl amine is primarily used in the chemical, personal care, and lubricant industries. In industrial applications, it functions as a surfactant, corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and antistatic agent. It is particularly valued in formulations for lubricants, anti-caking agents, and as a precursor in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds used in fabric softeners and conditioning agents.
