Description

Methacryloyl Aminopropyl Dimethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride is a specialized quaternary ammonium methacrylate monomer. This compound is highly valued for its ability to impart permanent cationic functionality and polymerizable properties to materials. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the water treatment, personal care, and specialty polymer industries to develop products with enhanced antimicrobial efficacy, flocculation, and surface modification capabilities.

Application

• Antimicrobial Polymers & Coatings: A key monomer for synthesizing polymers with built-in, non-leaching antimicrobial and antifungal properties for surfaces and textiles.
• Water Treatment Chemicals: Used in the production of cationic flocculants and coagulant aids for clarifying industrial and municipal wastewater.
• Personal Care Formulations: Serves as a conditioning agent and preservative booster in hair care and skincare products due to its substantive cationic nature.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed in retention aids, drainage aids, and strength additives to improve paper quality and manufacturing efficiency.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Incorporated into polymers used as viscosity modifiers and mobility control agents in oilfield applications.
• Ion Exchange Resins: Acts as a functional monomer for creating strong anion exchange resins with specific selectivity.

Quality Control

Our Methacryloyl Aminopropyl Dimethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial and formulation use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
