1. Basic Chemical Properties

Property Specification
CAS Number 71486-88-9
Chemical Name Linear Alkyloxypropyl Amine Ethoxylate
Molecular Formula R-O-(CH₂)₃-NH-(CH₂CH₂O)ₙH (R=C₁₂–C₁₈, n=2–15)
Appearance Clear to pale yellow liquid
Density (25°C) 0.95–1.05 g/cm³
pH (1% solution) 8.0–10.0
Solubility Water-soluble (higher EO); oil-soluble (lower EO)
Cloud Point 30–90°C (varies with EO units)
HLB Value 8–18 (EO-dependent)
Ionic Nature Weakly cationic (nonionic at neutral pH)

2. Applications & Performance

Application Function EO Units (n=) Typical Use Level
Detergents Nonionic surfactant 5–15 5–20% w/w
Emulsifiers Oil-in-water emulsifier 8–12 1–10% w/w
Textile Processing Lubricant, antistatic agent 2–5 0.5–5% w/w
Agrochemicals Wetting/spreading agent 3–8 0.1–3% w/w
Personal Care Mild cleanser 10–15 1–8% w/w

Key Features:

EO-dependent properties: Lower EO (2–5) for oil solubility; higher EO (10–15) for water solubility

Low foaming (compared to conventional ethoxylates)

Excellent compatibility with anionic/cationic surfactants

Biodegradable (OECD 301 standards)

3. Safety & Handling

Parameter Specification
Flash Point >150°C (higher EO)
Skin Irritation Mild to moderate
Eye Irritation Moderate
Storage Temperature 5–40°C
Shelf Life 24 months
Regulatory Status REACH compliant
Handling Precautions Use gloves & goggles; avoid strong acids

Summary

This ethoxylated amine surfactant combines a linear alkyl chain with adjustable ethylene oxide (EO) units, allowing tunable hydrophilicity for diverse applications. Its low irritation and controllable foaming make it suitable for detergents, agrochemicals, and personal care. Performance varies significantly with EO number, enabling customized formulations.
