Behenamidopropyl

Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine – Premium Cationic Conditioning Agent for High-Performance Hair Care Solutions

Xi'an Le-Nutra Ingredients Inc. is a professional supplier of Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine (≥95.0% active matter) for industrial use. We have 14+ years of experience in natural ingredients and a 60,000㎡ GMP-certified production plant. Our high purity conditioning agent has an annual production capacity of 3,000 tonnes, with continuous batch stability and full traceability. This long chain amidoamine derivative of C22 meets key formulation issues such as build-up minimisation, biodegradability requirements and silicone-free conditioning performance. We sell directly from the plant to cosmetic producers in need of reliable, eco-friendly conditioning solutions, with verified quality systems (ISO, Halal, Kosher), comprehensive R&D support and 98% on-time global delivery.

What Makes Our Behenamidopropyl Superior?

Our product is white to light yellow flakes which melt into a clear liquid at above 65-72℃. This physical feature simplifies the hot-emulsification processing in industrial production.

The ≥95.0% active matter concentration offers optimal conditioning efficiency per kg. Your formulation requires less material to attain the specified performance, decreasing the total cost of production.

Our criteria is 130-150 mgKOH/g amine value and acid value ≤2.0 mgKOH/g, which ensures the best neutralisation ratios. You can determine the right amount of lactic or citric acid to keep the pH steady.

The heavy metals profile (Pb ≤2ppm, As ≤2ppm, Cd ≤1ppm, Hg ≤0.1ppm) fulfils the rigorous standards for EU cosmetics. Your finished items have easier access to markets in worldwide countries.

Microbiological safety (Total Plate Count ≤100 CFU/g, E.Coli & Salmonella negative) reduces the danger of contamination. As long as the storage conditions are kept, you can keep the product in its integrity for the 24 month shelf life.

Technical Specifications

Core Performance Advantages

Cationic Conditioning Effect: After neutralisation with organic acids, the molecule becomes cationic, providing excellent substantivity to negatively-charged damaged hair fibres. Softness like a salon in everyday formulas.

Anti-Static Properties: The C22 long-chain structure neutralises electrical charges on hair surfaces. Your consumers will have less flyaways & better manageability in low humidity conditions.

Enhanced Combability: Good slide characteristics minimise the friction between hair strands during wet and dry combing. This means less mechanical breakage, which is especially helpful for textured or chemically-treated hair types.

Damage Repair: SupportHydrophobic chain penetrates damaged cuticle layers filling structural voids and smoothing rough surface. Your repair formulas show visible improvement in hair texture and gloss.​​​​​​​

Diverse Application Scenarios

Premium Shampoo Systems: Add at 0.5-1.5% to formulate 2-in-1 cleansing systems with integrated conditioning. The chemical is stable in sulfate-free surfactant bases and aligns with clean beauty trends.

Hair Conditioners and Masks: 2-5% as the principal conditioning agent in rinse off treatments. The substance develops stable lamellar gel networks therefore producing rich luxuriant textures which consumers associate with premium products.

Leave-In Treatments: At 1-3%, it provides long-lasting protection in serums, creams and sprays. It's non-greasy so it's good for fine hair, which tends to reject heavier conditioners.

Silicone-Free Formulas: Using dimethicone chemicals and still deliver outstanding sensory performance. Your brand appeals to the expanding demographic seeking biodegradable options that don’t sacrifice efficacy.

Skincare Applications: Used as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in lotions and creams at 0.5-2%. The moderate profile is indicated for sensitive skin applications requiring gentle texture augmentation.

Manufacturing Excellence and Quality Assurance

We have 6 multipurpose production lines for Behenamidopropyl under rigorous GMP standards. Quality verification of 5 stages is performed for each batch of synthesis before release to the warehouse.

Determination of amine value by potentiometric titration with advanced analytical tools. Karl Fischer moisture analysis will provide ±0.5% accuracy of the active matter concentration.

AOCS colour stability testing ensures no yellowing under hot processing conditions up to 80℃. Your formulations still look good across the product’s shelf life.

All safety parameters are verified independently through third-party testing agreements. Every shipment comes with full paperwork (COA, TDS, MSDS, Allergen Statement).

Batch traceability systems are used to trace completed goods to the raw material source. This openness can support your efforts on regulatory compliance and customer transparency.

Professional Technical Support

Our R&D staff can help you calculate the neutralisation ratios for your intended pH ranges. We give advice on processing temperature for best dispersion in various base systems.

Compatibility testing services assess interaction with your existing ingredient matrices. You catch possible problems in the development phases, so you don't get stuck with costly delays in reformulation.

Custom specification alterations are made to comply with regulatory requirements of regional specifications. If you require updated amine numbers or other test conditions, our versatile production capabilities can be adapted to your demands.

Improve performance and control costs with the help of Formula Optimization's consultants. We provide application insights from more than 14 years serving global cosmetic makers.

Packaging and Global Supply

Standard packing is 25kg fibre drums with double layer polythene food grade liner. This design maintains product integrity during international shipment and allows easier handling in the warehouse.

FAQ

Q: What is the best neutralising acid for the product?

A: Lactic acid provides smoother sensory profiles, while citric acid is a cost-effective pH control agent. The normal stoichiometric ratio is from one-fourth to one-third part acid to part substance.

Q: Is this substance compatible with anionic surface active agents?

A: No, like other cationic precursors it will precipitate insoluble salt complexes with anionic. However, it has good compatibility with nonionic and amphoteric surfactant systems.

Q: What's it like compared to Behentrimonium Chloride?

A: Our substance has better biodegradability and less coated feel on hair. This makes it perfect for daily-use conditioners that need to help avoid buildup.

Q: What is the recommended processing temperature?

A: Melt the substance into your oil phase or neutralised water phase at 75-80℃. This ensures thorough homogenisation and development of a stable emulsion.

Q: Does it fulfil international green standards?

A: Yes, the substance meets the criteria of the OECD 301B, confirming that it is quickly biodegradable. This accreditation supports sustainability claims and eco-labeled cosmetic compositions.
