  • Applications

    Octadecanamide, N-[3-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]propyl]- (CAS number: 55819-54-0) is used as an amphiphilic surfactant/conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care, where it can act as a mild surfactant and emollient while helping to stabilize formulations. It is also employed in household cleaning products as a surfactant and wetting agent, improving spread and cleaning performance. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a slip additive and processing aid for polymers and coatings to improve lubrication and dispersion. It may function as a functional intermediate or additive in polymer and plastics formulations and can act as a surfactant or dispersant in inks and coatings.
