PRIMENE™ 81-R , C12-14-tert-alkyl Amines is a primary aliphatic amine with highly branched alkyl chains in which the amino nitrogen atom is linked to a tertiary carbon to give the t-alkyl grouping shown above. It consists of a mixture of isomeric amines in the C12-14 range. This material has unique chemical and physical properties, including excellent resistance to oxidation, fluidity and low viscosity over a wide range of temperature, outstanding color stability, and high solubility in petroleum hydrocarbons. These unique properties often extend to the derivatives of this amine. Of particular interest are the salts of organic acids, phenols, complex inorganic acids based on heavy metals, and other compounds that show unusually low solubility in oils and hydrocarbon solvents. Solubilization of such materials by PRIMENE 81-R permits the use of the salts in applications where effectiveness depends on solubility.
