How does the CAS 61791-26-2 designation verify the identity of this surfactant compared to primary tallow amine?

CAS 61791-26-2 specifically identifies the polyethoxylated (POE) derivative of tallow amine, which is a non-ionic or cationic-leaning surfactant depending on the pH. This is distinct from distilled tallow amine (primary amine), which carries a different CAS and lacks the polyoxyethylene chains required for water solubility and emulsification performance in aqueous systems.

Is this material commonly applied as a standalone active ingredient or as a formulation component?

Tallow Amine ethoxylates are typically intended for use as industrial raw materials or formulation components. They are commonly used as adjuvants or emulsifiers within a larger chemical system—such as an agrochemical concentrate or a metalworking fluid—rather than being utilized as a standalone finished product.

Does the degree of ethoxylation (EO moles) significantly affect the physical state of the product?

Yes, the EO content determines the HLB value and physical form. Lower EO versions (e.g., 2-5 moles) are generally oil-soluble liquids, while higher EO versions (e.g., 15-20 moles) become water-soluble liquids or pastes. We provide technical data to match the specific solubility requirements of your industrial formulation.

Tallow Amine CAS 61791-26-2

Tallow Amine CAS 61791-26-2 is a versatile non-ionic surfactant derived from fatty acid sources, functioning primarily as a high-efficiency emulsifier and wetting agent in complex chemical systems. In industrial formulations, this polyethoxylated tallow amine provides critical surface activity and electrolyte stability, acting as a vital component in polyoxyethylene tallow amine based adjuvant systems for the agricultural sector. The chemical structure of tallowamine ethoxylate allows it to serve as a corrosion inhibitor in oilfield applications and a dispersing agent in textile processing, while ethoxylated tallow alkyl amine is frequently employed to enhance the penetration of active ingredients in industrial-grade cleaners. We provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing to support global distribution, ensuring all technical requirements are met with provided MSDS, TDS, COA and we offer customized specifications regarding the moles of ethylene oxide (EO) to suit specific formulation viscosities and HLB requirements.

Applications

Agrochemical Adjuvants: Acts as a primary surfactant and spreader in herbicide formulations to improve the biological efficacy of active ingredients.
Textile & Leather Chemicals: Used as a leveling agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber processing and leather finishing.
Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in oil extraction and refining processes to protect metal infrastructure.
Industrial Cleaners: Incorporated into heavy-duty detergents and degreasers to facilitate the removal of grease and oily contaminants from hard surfaces.

Storage & Safety

Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or open flames.
Safety Operations (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety splash goggles, and protective clothing. If handling in confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation or use an organic vapor respirator.
Handling: This substance is typically irritating to the eyes and skin; avoid direct contact. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Quality Assurance

Our manufacturing facility adheres to strict ISO 9001 quality management protocols to ensure the consistency of ethoxylation degrees and amine values across every batch. We utilize Gas Chromatography (GC) for fatty acid distribution analysis and potentiometric titration for precise amine value determination. Each production lot is validated against standardized performance benchmarks for cloud point and emulsification stability, ensuring that our technical-grade surfactants meet the rigorous demands of international B2B industrial applications.
