Description

Diethyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt with a versatile hydroxyl-functionalized structure. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, acting as both a cationic surfactant and a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and specialty chemical industries for formulating conditioners, antistatic agents, and phase transfer catalysts.

Application

• Surfactant & Conditioner: A key ingredient in hair conditioners, fabric softeners, and personal care products, providing excellent antistatic and softening properties.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis and polymer manufacturing.
• Textile Auxiliary: Used as a softening and antistatic agent for synthetic fibers and fabrics.
• Biocide Intermediate: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) based disinfectants and sanitizers.
• Emulsifier & Dispersant: Stabilizes emulsions and aids in the dispersion of pigments and additives in coatings and specialty formulations.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying cationic surfactants and synthesizing novel functional materials.

Quality Control

Our Diethyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Chloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific application requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
