  • Applications

    Lauraminopropylamine (CAS 5538-95-4) is typically used as a long-chain alkyl amine that functions as a surfactant and as a synthetic intermediate for quaternary ammonium compounds. In practice, it may be used as a component of cationic surfactants in household cleaners and personal care products, as an intermediate for specialty additives in coatings and inks, and as a processing aid or emulsifier in polymers and plastics. It also serves as a reactive amine building block for surfactant formulations used in adhesives and textile processing, with potential use in electronics cleaning formulations, all within the bounds of local regulations and formulation limits.
