DIETHYLHEXYLAMINE.

Avoid CAS 106-20-7 / ANTISTATIC

Diethylhexylamine primarily functions as an antistatic agent, reducing static electricity in cosmetic formulations. It may also contribute to the stability and performance of surfactant-based liquid mixtures as an emulsifying agent.

Summary

Antistatic Emulsifying

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a secondary amino compound, Diethylhexylamine directly interferes with and reduces static charges. Its chemical properties allow it to potentially aid in emulsification or cleansing processes within liquid formulations.
