Description

Tetradecyldimethylamine (CAS 112-75-4 ) is a long-chain tertiary amine used as a chemical intermediate and functional surfactant across cleaning, personal care, and textile processing industries. Its primary commercial value lies in conversion to quaternary ammonium compounds, amine oxides, and betaines. These downstream actives drive formulation performance in various industrial applications. In home care and industrial cleaning, it serves as a precursor to quats and amine oxides used in fabric softeners and disinfectants. It is also essential for hard surface cleaners and detergents. Personal care formulators use it to produce conditioning agents and foam boosters for shampoos and rinse-off products. Textile and leather processors apply it in surface modification treatments. These treatments improve fiber wettability and dye uptake during the manufacturing process. It also functions as an emulsifier and dispersant in paper processing for uniform coating and sizing. The chemical is supplied as a liquid, typically at high purity grades suited for industrial synthesis. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications commonly at 95% or higher. Packaging ranges from drums to IBC containers, reflecting its use as a bulk intermediate. This ensures efficient handling in continuous manufacturing processes and large-scale chemical production. Contact us for supply of Tetradecyldimethylamine Request Quote
