Introduction to Dihydrogenated Tallowamine

Property Description
Chemical Name Dihydrogenated tallowamine (N,N-Dihydrogenated tallow alkyl amine)
Molecular Formula R-NH₂ (R = Hydrogenated tallow alkyl, typically C₁₄–C₁₈)
Appearance White to off-white waxy solid or flakes
Melting Point 40–60°C (varies with alkyl chain distribution)
Solubility Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents (ethanol, chloroform, hydrocarbons)
Function Primary amine surfactant, corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, chemical intermediate
Applications Lubricant additives, asphalt emulsifiers, agrochemicals, anticorrosion agents
Ionic Nature Weakly basic (forms cationic salts in acidic media)
pH Stability Stable under neutral to alkaline conditions; reactive with acids
Biodegradability Slowly biodegradable (depends on alkyl chain structure)
Safety (General) May cause skin/eye irritation; avoid inhalation of dust

Key Characteristics

Derivation: Produced by hydrogenation of tallow amine (derived from animal/vegetable fats).

Reactivity: Forms amine salts with acids; reacts with ethylene oxide to produce ethoxylates.

Performance: Provides lubricity, anticorrosion, and emulsification properties.

Typical Use Levels

Application Concentration Range
Lubricant Additives 0.5–5%
Asphalt Emulsifiers 1–10%
Agrochemical Formulations 2–15%

Regulatory & Handling Notes

Listed under major chemical inventories (REACH, TSCA).

Store in a cool, dry place away from strong acids/oxidizers.
