Applications of Stearyl amine:
Stearylamine is an ingredient of Cationic surfactants used as disinfectants, fungicides, and antiseptics.
Stearylamine is an ingredient of Amphoteric surfactants and Amine oxides used as antistatic agents, textile scouring agents, ingredients for low-irritation shampoo, liquid detergents, and foam boosters.
Stearylamine is an ingredient of Corrosion inhibitors, asphalt emulsifier Dispersants, lubricants, and water treatment agents.
Stearyl amine can be used in the production of Cationic surfactants (disinfectants, fungicides, germicides, leveling agents, hair rinse bases, wood preservatives, textile softeners, dyeing auxiliaries, ore flotation.
Stearyl amine is used as a dispersing agent or internal/external lubricant for benefits in polymer production to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid compounding materials to enhance processability, to decrease friction and abrasion of the polymer surface, and to contribute color stability and corrosion prevention.
Stearyl amine finds use in the formulations of Pigment grinding aids, Corrosion inhibitors and asphalt emulsifiers, Anticaking agents, dispersants, lubricants, and water treatment agents.
Amphoteric surfactants and Amine oxides (antistatic agent, textile scouring agent, ingredient for low irritation shampoo, liquid detergent, foam booster, oil recovery agent) may contain Stearylamine.
Stearyl amine is an aliphatic amine intended for cosmetic formulations as an antistatic agent.
In cosmetics and personal care products, Lauramine and Stearylamine have been used in hair preparations.
Stearyl amine is also used as a corrosion-inhibiting boiler-water additive.
Stearyl amine has antimicrobial properties.
Stearyl amine has been shown to prevent drug (lansoprazole) degradation and maintain drug stability in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs).
Stearyl amine is used as a positive charge-inducing agent in different pharmaceutical formulations.
Thus, stearyl amine reduced the permeability coefficient for the cationic species of the drugs by approximately an order of magnitude but did not affect the neutral species of the drugs.
The efflux curves observed for both verapamil and prochlorperazine could be mathematically modeled by assuming that the primary influence of stearyl amine was on the development of a positive surface charge density on the inner monolayer of the liposome.
These results indicate that stearyl amine effectively decreases the leakage of cationic drugs from liposomes and may prove to be a valuable component of liposomal drug formulations.
Stearyl amine is mainly used in a water-soluble form (acetate or hydrochloride) for the flotation of KCl.
The acetates essentially have better solubility in water than the hydrochlorides.
However, the hydrochlorides are often preferred and prepared directly in the flotation system.
Although Stearylamine has foaming properties in addition to its collecting properties, foamers are also used.
The amount of foamer used is 20-50 g/t.
Applications:
corrosion inhibitor (steam systems)
mold releasing agent (manufacturing of battery cases),
anti-caking and flotation agent
anti-stripping agent (asphalt emulsions for highways)
chemical intermediate
petroleum industry
metal extraction, refining, and processing of metals;
Preparation of an aqueous Stearyl amine solution
To produce an aqueous Stearyl amine solution, hot water (approx. 90 °C) is placed in a stirring container.
Stearyl amine is stirred directly from the melt into the water.
The equivalent amount of acetic acid (24 kg of 100% acetic acid per 100 kg of Stearyl amine) or hydrochloric acid (38 kg of 37% hydrochloric acid per 100 kg of Stearyl amine) is added while stirring.
The aqueous solution should be stirred for another 30 minutes before use.
This then results in a homogeneous, thin, and somewhat cloudy solution.
If the amine solution is to be mixed with Alkyl polyglycol ether, we recommend adding this foamer last to the amine salt solution.
The solution is water-clear at approx. 90 °C.
We recommend setting the amine concentration to 1-5%.
More concentrated solutions are viscous and can cause difficulties during pumping and dosing steps.
Below 40 °C, the solution becomes viscous and cloudy.
Due to the high interfacial activity, solutions of fatty amine salts tend to foam.
Therefore, the solution should only be stirred slightly while stirring in stearylamine, and the air entry should be avoided.
Experience has shown that cloudy amine solutions are less selective, and the specific consumption increases.
Stearyl amine solutions should be prepared fresh daily.
Due to the aggressive properties of acidic amine salt solutions, preparation vessels, and heating cables must be particularly protected against corrosion. Steel coated with PTFE and V4A steel are suitable materials for this application.
Safety instructions
Fatty amines are organic solid bases.
Therefore, contact with skin and eyes should be avoided.
When handling Stearylamine and its aqueous solutions, protective clothing, gloves, and safety glasses should be worn.
However, if splashes get on the skin, wash with diluted acetic acid and plenty of soap and water.
If Stearylamine gets into the eye, it should be washed with plenty of water or cooking oil, and a doctor should be consulted immediately.
Clothing soaked in Stearyl amine must be changed immediately.
