Amide is stable between pH 3-12, not beyond. -C=C- bond is stable as well.
Aqueous solutions demonstrate stability with peroxide at pH 3. Avoid NaOCl.
Molecule: Properties: Kauri-Butanol >1000
What does this mean ? Test Solvent
Kauri Resin
Kauri resin is soluble in butanol, less soluble in other solvents
Add test solvent to dilute the butanol solution of resin
At some added amount the resin precipitates due to insolubility
The more added to the endpoint, the higher the Kb value
Resins are common tackifiers for adhesives and coatings
High Kb value = good cleaning and removal performance

Solution Behavior
• Soluble in water to about 0.15% (vs. 0.05% for “ane”)
• Can dissolve up to 19% added water, but not hygroscopic
• Formulate similar to a Low-HLB Nonionic
– Use charged (anionic or cationic) or mid/high HLB
cosurfactant(s)
• On its own, at 0.1 wt.%, Draves Wetting (ASTM D2281-

– Better than saturated analog
– Better than similar Low-HLB alkoxylates
– Remarkably fast release of air from the surface

Let’s Watch
Before Weighted Skeins Dropped
These are solutions near the specified 0.1 wt%, but at solubility limits:
0.13% 0.05% 0.02% 0.25%
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 0 Seconds
Note the huge volume of air released from the Decenamide
(left-most cylinder), and the skein has sunk due to momentum
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 2 Seconds
Some air remains, buoying the skein for the Decenamide for a brief
moment. All others were buoyant at 0 seconds and remain buoyant.
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 4 Seconds
The Decenamide skein has sunk. All others remain buoyant.
Note the “fluffing” observed for both amides, Decene and Decane.
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 10 Seconds
The Decenamide skein has sunk. All others remain buoyant.
Note the “fluffing” observed for both amides, Decene and Decane.
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 12 Seconds
The Decanamide saturated analog skein begins to sink at 12
seconds, long after the Decenamide. “ene” is different than “ane”
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 16 Seconds
The Decanamide saturated analog skein has sunk at 16 seconds, long
after the Decenamide. C12/C13 EO3 and C6 EO1 remain buoyant.
Weighted Skeins Dropped: 20 Seconds
Still waiting on the other skeins to sink. The C12/13 EO3 will
take more than a minute, and the C6 EO1 does not sink.

• FTIR, Draves, and Solution Behavior support this hypothesis, or at least a looped conformation
