Stearyl amine appears as white waxy crystalline solid with alkalinity. 
Stearyl amine is soluble in chloroform, soluble in alcohol, ether and benzene, slightly soluble in acetone and insoluble in water.

Production method    
Stearyl amine can be obtained from stearic acid via ammoniation and hydrogenation. 
Send stearic acid and ammonia continuously and quantitatively into the liquid phase reaction tower for ammoniation at 350 ℃ to generate octadecane nitrile. 
After washing with water and refinement, Stearyl amine was sent to the autoclave and was subject to hydrogenation reaction under 130 ℃ and the pressure of about 3.5MPa with the nickel catalyst for generation of Octadecanamine. 
The hydrogenated product was subject to precipitation for removing the catalyst to derive the final products. 
During laboratory preparation, the octadecane nitrile and anhydrous ethanol are subject to boiling under reflux and further put into sodium metal for reaction. 
Pour the reaction mixture into the dilute hydrochloric acid with cooling obtaining the Octadecanamine hydrochloride. 
Further treat with 20% sodium hydroxide solution treated with 20% sodium hydroxide solution can produce Stearyl amine. 
The yield is 85%. Fixed consumption amount of material: stearic acid: 1165kg/t, ammonia 151kg/t, hydrogen gas: 211m3, nickel catalyst: 6kg/t.

Reactivity Profile    
Stearyl amine neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. 
May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. 
Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
