Description

Oleyl Dimethyl Ethyl Ammonium Bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) valued for its cationic surfactant properties and compatibility with various organic systems. This chemical is essential for formulators seeking to impart antistatic, emulsifying, or conditioning effects in industrial and personal care applications. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the textile, hair care, and specialty chemical industries requiring a substantive, long-chain cationic agent.

Application

• Primary use as a cationic surfactant and antistatic agent in textile finishing and fiber processing.
• Key ingredient in hair conditioners and rinse-off treatments for its excellent substantivity and detangling properties.
• Acts as an emulsifier and softener in the formulation of industrial and household fabric softeners.
• Used as a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis reactions.
• Component in biocidal formulations where quaternary ammonium compounds are active ingredients.
• Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and additive in specialty lubricants and oilfield chemicals.
• Utilized in the production of organoclays for rheological control in paints, coatings, and drilling fluids.

Quality Control

Our Oleyl Dimethyl Ethyl Ammonium Bromide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and performance consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and amine value. We support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
