PROPERTIES & CHARACTERISTICS of BARLENE 2 AM 10 FR PDS:
*Purity / assay:
Some suppliers list ≥ 97 % purity (approx) for N-methyldidecylamine used in industrial intermediates.
This high purity is important for downstream reactions (e.g., synthesis of surfactants or quaternary ammonium salts).
*Hydrophobicity:
Barlene 2 AM 10 FR PDS is very hydrophobic, due to long decyl (C10) aliphatic chains.
High partition coefficients (log P) indicate low water miscibility; Barlene 2 AM 10 FR PDS tends to dissolve well in non-polar or weakly polar organic solvents.
*Volatility / vapor pressure:
Low vapor pressure at ambient conditions, so vapors are less likely unless heated.
However, in heated or sprayed processes or under elevated temperatures, fumes/mists can arise.
