Description

(Ethylenebis(Oxyethylene))Bis(Diethylmethylammonium Iodide) is a quaternary ammonium salt compound with a unique polyether-linked cationic structure. This molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate and functional additive in advanced material synthesis and specialty chemical formulations. It is particularly sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for applications requiring phase-transfer catalysis, antimicrobial activity, or surface modification. The compound is supplied with a high level of purity and batch-to-batch consistency to meet rigorous R&D and production standards.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis for alkylation, esterification, and polymerization processes.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Serves as a biocide or preservative in industrial water treatment systems, coatings, and material protection due to its quaternary ammonium structure.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a functional monomer or additive to introduce cationic charges into polymers, enhancing properties for flocculants, conductive materials, or ion-exchange resins.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery systems where cationic functionality is required.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions as a cationic surfactant in specialized formulations for cosmetics, agrochemicals, and textile processing.
• Research & Development: A key building block in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new cationic surfactants, ionic liquids, and functional materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
