SierraCor OLEIC:DETA

Chemical Name / INCI:

Oleic Acid-Diethylenetriamine Imidazoline

CAS #:

3528-63-0

Chemical Family:

Cationic Surfactants > Corrosion Inhibitors

OVERVIEW

SierraCor OLEIC:DETA is synthesized through the reaction of oleic acid with diethylenetriamine (DETA), producing an imidazoline, also referred to as an oleyl imidazoline or fatty acid amidoamine, featuring a long hydrophobic oleyl chain. This structure imparts surfactant properties, making it effective as a corrosion inhibitor in industries such as oil and gas, where it forms protective films on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion. Additionally, its emulsifying capabilities are utilized in applications like metalworking fluids and industrial cleaners, aiding in the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions. The amphiphilic nature of OLEIColeic acid with diethylenetriamine (DETA), producing an imidazoline, also referred to as an oleyl imidazoline or fatty acid amidoamine, featuring a long hydrophobic oleyl chain. This structure imparts surfactant prooleic acid with diethylenetriamine (DETA),:DETA imidazoline allows it to interact with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, enhancing its versatility in various formulations.
