About Hexadecylamine, 98%

Listed under CAS 143-27-1, Hexadecylamine is an amine building block available from Vaqora Chemicals (Synthesis grade) with a typical assay of 98%. Its molecular formula is C16H35N and its molecular weight is 241.46 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is hexadecan-1-amine. Alternative names: 1-Aminohexadecane and Cetylamine.

The material typically appears as a white to off-white solid. Literature values give a melting point of 43-45 °C and a boiling point of 330 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span polymer and resin production and surfactants and detergency. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and polymers and plastics.

Standard pack sizes are 25 g, 250 g, 1 kg and 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
