  • Applications

    N-Caprylyldiethanolamine (CAS 15520-05-5) is primarily used as a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier, featuring a caprylyl tail and diethanolamine head. It finds applications in cosmetics/personal care and household cleaning products as a surfactant and emulsifier; as a wetting agent and dispersant in coatings and inks; as a processing solvent or additive in industrial cleaners and degreasers; as a corrosion-inhibiting emulsifier in metalworking fluids; and as an intermediate for synthesizing other surfactants and functional amines.
