Dodecyl/Tetradecyl Dimethylamines Specification

Quick Summary

Dodecyl Dimethylamine (C12 DMA)

  • Shorter alkyl chain with better dispersibility.
  • Provides excellent wetting and emulsification properties.
  • Commonly used in disinfectants, detergents, and general-purpose surfactants.
  • Often selected when faster solubility and processing are desired.

Tetradecyl Dimethylamine (C14 DMA)

  • Longer alkyl chain with stronger hydrophobicity.
  • Offers enhanced conditioning, softening, and antistatic performance.
  • Produces quaternary ammonium compounds with greater surface adsorption.
  • Preferred for fabric softeners, hair conditioners, corrosion inhibitors, and premium cationic formulations.

Dodecyl/Tetradecyl Dimethylamines for Sale

Dodecyl/Tetradecyl DimethylaminesDodecyl/Tetradecyl Dimethylamines are tertiary fatty amines produced from natural or synthetic alkyl chains. The product typically contains a mixture of C12 and C14 alkyl groups, offering excellent surface activity, emulsification performance, and chemical reactivity.

 

Key Features

  • High reactivity for quaternization and amine oxide synthesis.
  • Excellent intermediate for cationic and amphoteric surfactant manufacturing.
  • Broad compatibility with textile, daily chemical, oilfield, and industrial formulation systems.
  • Suitable for downstream products such as fabric softeners, antistatic agents, emulsifiers, and disinfectant intermediates.
 

What is Dodecyl/Tetradecyl Dimethylamines Used for

  • Versatile Surfactant Intermediate: DMA 12-14 acts as the foundational building block for synthesizing high-performance quaternary ammonium salts, amine oxides, and betaines, making it a critical raw material for personal care, household care, and industrial formulations.
  • High-Efficiency Corrosion Inhibition: Thanks to its long-chain hydrophobic tail and reactive tertiary amine head, it adsorbs strongly onto metal surfaces to form a dense protective film, providing exceptional rust and corrosion protection in oilfields and cooling water systems.
  • Powerful Biocidal & Algicidal Precursor: When quaternized, it converts into highly potent biocides that excel at controlling sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and algae, ensuring clean and efficient operation in industrial water treatment and sanitation applications.
  • Excellent Emulsification & Wetting Support: It serves as an effective adjuvant in agrochemical and textile processing, drastically improving the spreading, penetration, and wetting properties of formulas on various target surfaces.
  • Optimized Cost-to-Performance Value: Featuring a balanced C12/C14 carbon chain distribution, this compound offers the ideal balance between water solubility and lipophilic performance, enabling formulators to achieve superior thickening, stabilization, and activity at low dosage rates.
