Product Description:

1-Hexadecylamine is a long-chain primary fatty amine appearing as a white, low-melting crystalline solid. It is widely used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and in the manufacture of surfactants, resins, and specialty materials. Its long hydrophobic carbon chain makes it valuable in surface chemistry and industrial applications.
