Usage

General Description

N-(2-hydroxypropyl)dodecanamide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H31NO2. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid amides, which are carboxylic acid amide derivatives of fatty acids. The compound is a lipid molecule that is hydrophobic due to its long carbon chain, which makes it soluble in non-polar solvents and insoluble in water. Its use in various industries is not widely documented, potentially due to its specific chemical structure or properties. As with all chemicals, handling should be done with proper precautions to ensure safety.

PURIFIED POLYOXYPROPYLENE FATTY ACID ISOPROPANOLAMIDE SURFACTANTS, PRODUCTION THEREOF AND DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SURFACTANTS

A refined product of a polyoxypropylene fatty acid isopropanolamide surfactant, having a high stability in storage and a very small change in smell thereof, is obtained by heat-treating an addition-reaction mixture prepared from a compound of the formula (III) and propylene oxide in a molar amount of 0.5 to 10 times that of the compound of the formula (III), and containing the target compound of the formula (I) and an oxazoline compound of the formula (II) produced as a by-product with water or an alkaline aqueous solution at 50 to 100°C, to hydrolyze the oxyazoline compound and to control the content of the oxyazoline compound to 0.1% by mass or less; and a detergent composition containing the refined product in a content of 1 to 50% by mass, exhibits enhanced thickening, foaming, emulsifying, dispersing and dissolving properties.R1-CONH-CH2CH(CH3)(X)nOHR1-CONH-CH2CH(CH3)-OH[R1=C1-C19alkyl or alkenyl group, X=oxypropylene group, n=average number of addition-reacted X groups of 0.5 to 10]
