Tallow Amines

General Description And Applications

Tallow 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, especially from suet

(fatty tissues around the kidneys of cattle and sheep). Tallow is used for soaps, leather

dressings, candles, food, and lubricants. It is used in producing synthetic surfactants.

Tallow based alkyl amines are widely used in the synthesis of organic chemicals and

cationic and amphoteric surfactants.

Application of Fatty Amines

• Cationic surfactants (disinfectants, fungicides, germicide, leveling agents, hair

rinse bases, wood preservatives, textile softeners, dyeing auxiliaries, ore flotation.

pigment grinding aids. anticaking agents)

• Amphoteric surfactants and Amine oxides (antistatic agent, textile scouring agent,

ingredient for low irritation shampoo, liquid detergent, foam booster, oil recovery

agent)

• Corrosion inhibitors and asphalt emulsifier

• Dispersants, lubricants, water treatment agents.

Fatty amine products are used as a dispersing agent or internal/external lubricant for

benefits in polymer production of to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid

compounding materials to enhance processability, to decrease friction and abrasion of

the plolymer surface, and to contribute color stability and corrosion prevention.
