Tallow amine CAS:61790-33-8

Name: Tallow amine

CAS: 61790-33-8

Feature:

Tallow amine is a hard fat consists chiefly of glyceryl esters of oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids (16-18 carbon chains). It is extracted from fatty deposits of animals. Amines derived from these fats are called tallow amines. They are hydrophilic surfactants with a weak ammonia smell. While immiscible in water, tallow amines are easily dissolved in chloroform, alcohols, ethers, and benzene. Tallow amine is derived from animal fats based fatty acids via the nitrile process. It is obtained as a mixture of C12-C18 hydrocarbons, which in turn is derived from the abundant fatty acids in animal fat. The main source of tallow amine is from animal fats, but vegetable based tallow is also available and both can be ethoxylated to give non-ionic surfactants having similar properties. 

Tallow amine is widely used in mineral floating agent, waterproof softener of fiber, dyeing assistant, anti-static agent, pigment dispersant, anti-rusting agent, anti-caking agent of fertilizer, additives of lubricating oil, and germicide. It is used for soaps, leather dressings, candles, food, and lubricants. It is used in producing synthetic surfactants. Tallow amine is widely used in the synthesis of organic chemicals and cationic and amphoteric surfactants.

Tallow amine has the following applications/functions:

1. Tallow amine is the intermediate in organic synthesis.

2. Tallow amine is the synthetic raw material of amine ether products. It is widely used in textiles, dyes, pigments, antistatic agents, and papermaking auxiliaries.

3. Tallow amine is widely used in mineral flotation, it is widely used in mineral flotation agents such as zinc oxide, lead ore, mica, feldspar, potassium chloride, potassium carbonate and so on.

4. Tallow amine can also be used as a raw material for fertilizer anti-caking agent.

5. Tallow amine can be used to make soap, laundry soap, stearic acid, stearate, etc. It is also the main raw material for making higher fatty alcohols, fatty amines, various surfactants, oils, and fabric softeners.
