Description

n-Decyl-N,n-Dimethyl-1-Decanaminium Bicarbonate is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) with a bicarbonate counterion, offering a unique combination of surfactant properties and mild alkalinity. This compound matters for formulators seeking a multifunctional ingredient that can act as a phase transfer catalyst, emulsifier, or conditioning agent while providing a gentle buffering effect. Industries such as agrochemicals, personal care, and industrial cleaning can utilize this specialty chemical to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis and polymer manufacturing.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions in formulations for industrial cleaners, textile auxiliaries, and agrochemical emulsions due to its long-chain alkyl structure.
• Hair & Skin Conditioning Agent: Used in rinse-off personal care products like conditioners and body washes for its antistatic and softening properties.
• Biocide & Preservative Booster: Enhances the efficacy of other antimicrobial agents in disinfectant and preservative systems.
• Clay & Mineral Treatment: Acts as a modifier or intercalating agent for layered silicates in nanocomposite and rheology control applications.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or component in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces.
• Analytical Chemistry Reagent: Employed in ion-pair chromatography or as an extraction aid for certain analytes.

Quality Control

Our n-Decyl-N,n-Dimethyl-1-Decanaminium Bicarbonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant industry standards.

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 and handling properties.
