ETHYLENEDIAMINE/HYDROGENATED DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER BIS-DI-C14-18 ALKYL AMIDE

Substance information

This ingredient contains ethylenediamine (1,2-diaminoethane) as amine component. Amines are generally organic compounds which are derived from ammonia and in which one, two or all three hydrogen atoms of the ammonia have been substituted by alkyl or aryl groups. "Hydrogenated" means: treated with hydrogen (hydrogenated). A dimer is a molecule that consists of two identical subunits (the monomers). Linoleates are salts or esters of the linoleic acid (octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid). "Copolymer" refers to a polymer composed of several different (mostly two) basic units (monomers). "Alkyl" describes a mixture of alkanols. Alkanols are alcohols which are derived from saturated hydrocarbons. The preceding numbers "C x-y" specify the range of the alkyl (hydrocarbon) chain lengths. Amides are generally conversion products of carbonic acids (carboxylic acids, mostly fatty acids) or other acids with nitrogen compounds (ammonia or alkyl and alkanol amines, amino acids etc). Examples: "stearamides" are amides of the stearic acid, "cocamides" are amides of coconut fatty acids.
