A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Transport classification per the UN Model Regulations / 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. Confirm against the grade-specific SDS (Section 14) before shipping.
Dodecylamine (CAS 124-22-1) is a primary aliphatic amine (laurylamine). It is used to make cationic surfactants, as a surfactant in non-metallic mineral mining and quarrying (flotation), in dye and pigment production, and as a chemical intermediate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the use of dodecylamine?
Dodecylamine (laurylamine, CAS 124-22-1) is a primary aliphatic amine used as a flotation collector (cationic surfactant) in non-metallic mineral mining, as a feedstock for cationic surfactants, as a chemical intermediate for derivatives such as dodecylguanidine salts, and in dye and pigment production.
Is dodecylamine soluble in water?
Dodecylamine is a long-chain (C12) primary amine that is only slightly soluble in water owing to its hydrophobic alkyl chain, though it forms water-soluble salts on protonation with acids. Refer to the lot-specific CoA/SDS for solubility behavior relevant to your system. RawSource can provide solubility data on request.
What is a synonym for dodecylamine?
Common synonyms include laurylamine, 1-aminododecane, and dodecan-1-amine; the UN proper shipping name is dodecanamine. Reference CAS 124-22-1 on procurement documents to ensure identity. Molecular formula is C12H27N.
Does dodecylamine ship as a regulated material?
Dodecylamine carries UN 2735 (dodecanamine), so transport may fall under dangerous-goods rules depending on packaging and mode. RawSource supplies the SDS and shipping documentation to support compliant carriage; verify DOT/IMDG/IATA requirements with your carrier. Classification follows the lot-specific SDS.
How is dodecylamine supplied in bulk?
RawSource supplies dodecylamine (CAS 124-22-1) to mining, surfactant, and intermediate manufacturers in drums, IBC totes, and bulk formats under HS 2921.19. Packaging, MOQ, and purity specification are confirmed at quotation against the CoA. Submit a bulk RFQ with your required volume and grade.
