    Fatty amine ethoxylates are nonionic surfactants used as wetting agents, dispersants, stabilizers, and defoaming agents in industries like textile, paper, drilling, chemicals, and paint. They are produced by reacting fatty amines like tallow amines, coco amines, and stearyl amines with ethylene oxide. Common fatty amine ethoxylates used industrially include tallow amine ethoxylates, oleyl amine ethoxylates, coco amine ethoxylates, and stearyl amine ethoxylates. These surfactants find applications as emulsifiers, detergents, coat

    Application of Surfactants - Fatty Amine Ethoxylates

    Surfactants are the surface active agents that are widely used in form of
    cleansing agents, emulsifiers and wetting agents for various applications in
    industries. They can be used in formation of other surfactant products or
    derivatives and are often employed in processes as solubilizing and coupling
    agents, fiber lubricants and dyeing assists in textile processes, leveling agents
    and in various other applications.
    Talking about the surfactant products widely used in industries, ethoxylates are
    widely used in industries as surfactants. Ethoxylates derived from ethoxylation of
    substances like fatty alcohols, fatty acids or amines are employed in industries
    for applications like cleaning, emulsifying, wetting, scouring etc. Let us now have
    a look at the fatty amine ethoxylate surfactants used in industrial processes.
    What are Fatty Amine Ethoxylates and Where are They Used?
    Fatty amine ethoxylates are nonionic surfactants used as wetting and dispersing
    agents, stabilizers, sanitizers and defoaming agents in various industries like
    textile, paper, drilling, chemical, paint, metal etc. The fatty amine
    ethoxylates are used as emulsifiers and can also be employed in formulation of
    emulsifier blends. They play an important role as emulsifiers in agrochemical
    industries, cleaners in industrial processes especially in metal industry, oil field
    chemicals, fabric softeners, petroleum additives and for applications in textile
    and leather processing, paper de-inking, mining & drilling.
    How are Fatty Amines Ethoxylates Formulated?
    Production of fatty amines ethoxylate products takes place when the amines like
    amino acids, tallow amines, oleyl amine, coco amine, stearyl amines etc are
    made to react with ethylene oxide in presence of a catalyst in ethoxylation
    process. Fatty amines are nitrogen derivatives of fatty acids, olefins, or alcohols
    prepared from natural sources, fats and oils, or petrochemical raw materials. The
    commercially available fatty amines are prepared by either distillation of fatty
    acids or when fatty alcohols are reacted with ammonia or primary, secondary
    amines.
    Types of Fatty Amine Ethoxylates
    Some of the popular forms of ethoxylated amines widely used in industrial
    processes include the tallow amines, coco amines, stearyl amines and oleyl
    amines.
    The popular product used for soaps, leather dressings, candles, food, and
    lubricant applications in industries, tallow amine ethoxylate is derived from
    ethoxylation of tallow amine which is prepared from tallow, a hard fat usually
    extracted from fatty deposits of animals. Tallow consists chiefly of glyceryl esters
    of oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids.

    The oleyl amine ethoxylates are best used in textile applications. With high
    affinity for surfaces these products are good for coating applications and as such
    are used for coating cloth, yarn etc. They are good emulsifiers and are used in
    many cleaning and detergent formulations due to their antistatic behaviour and
    dispersing abilities. In the similar way stearyl amine ethoxylates and coco amine
    ethoxylates are the two other widely used industrial surfactant products
    employed in different forms for various applications in diverse industries.
    Those looking to buy high quality surfactants for industrial applications, can get
    them at most competitive prices from Rimpro. Rimpro-India is one of the leading
    suppliers of oilfield chemicals, surfactants, cosmetic waxes and specialty
    chemicals in India.
