Tallow Amine

Tallow amine is a hard fat consists chiefly of glyceryl esters of oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids (16-18 carbon chains). It is extracted from fatty deposits of animals. Amines derived from these fats are called tallow amines. They are hydrophilic surfactants with a weak ammonia smell. While immiscible in water, tallow amines are easily dissolved in chloroform, alcohols, ethers, and benzene.
