Hexadecanamide, N,N’-1,2-ethanediylbis-（Cat No.:L010026）is a symmetrical diamide compound derived from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and ethylenediamine. It features two long-chain hexadecanoyl groups connected by a central ethylene diamine linker, forming a lipophilic, amphiphilic structure. This molecule is commonly used as a lubricant, dispersing agent, or antistatic additive in plastics, coatings, and personal care products. Its dual amide functionalities offer strong hydrogen bonding and thermal stability, while the long alkyl chains contribute to hydrophobicity. It is valued for enhancing surface properties, compatibility, and processing performance in industrial and cosmetic formulations.
