Description

Deditonium Bromide CAS NO 2401-56-1 is a high-purity quaternary ammonium salt compound, recognized for its potent denaturant and bittering properties. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as an aversive agent, making it essential for safety compliance in products where accidental ingestion must be prevented. This material is critically important for manufacturers in the industrial chemicals, specialty additives, and pharmaceutical sectors requiring reliable, high-quality denaturants.

Application

• Primary use as a bittering and denaturing agent in industrial alcohols and ethanol to render them unfit for human consumption.
• Key additive in antifreeze and windshield washer fluids to prevent accidental poisoning, especially in consumer automotive products.
• Employed in the formulation of personal care products like nail polish removers and cosmetics as a safety denaturant.
• Used in certain pharmaceutical preparations and topical solutions to act as an aversive agent.
• Application in household cleaners and solvents to meet safety regulations for denatured products.
• Potential use in specialty chemical synthesis as a quaternary ammonium intermediate or catalyst.

Quality Control

Our Deditonium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, loss on drying, and residue on ignition is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for our B2B clients.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
