Description

Didecylamine is an amine that can be used as a cross-linking agent in the production of polyurethane foam. It is synthesized from acetaldehyde, which reacts with hydroxyl groups in the presence of sodium carbonate. The reaction product has a carbonyl group and two hydrochloric acid molecules. Didecylamine has been shown to have transport properties and is used in fatty acid synthesis. This compound also has liver cell toxicity and has been shown to cause cross-linking of human liver cells. Didecylamine binds to cationic surfactants, metal chelates, or multi-walled carbon particles by forming hydrogen bonds with their amines. It also undergoes frequency shifts and can be used as an amine reactant for the production of polyurethane foam due to its high boiling point.
