Amines, tallow alkyl, dodecylbenzenesulfonates are cationic surfactant compounds formed from tallow-derived alkyl amines and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. They are used as emulsifiers, dispersants, antistatic agents, corrosion inhibitors, flotation agents, textile auxiliaries, and additives in industrial formulations such as coatings, lubricants, and cleaning products.
