  • Applications

    Cetylamine hydrofluoride (CAS 3151-59-5) is the hydrofluoride salt of cetylamine and is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of cetylammonium surfactants. In practical applications, it may serve as a surfactant precursor for cosmetics and personal care; as a specialty surfactant additive for household and industrial cleaners; as a processing aid in polymer and plastic formulations to improve dispersion and wetting; as a coating and ink additive to enhance wetting and dispersion; and as a precursor to cetylammonium derivatives used in electronics cleaning formulations, all subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
