Description

n-Dodecyloxycarboxymethyl-N,N,n-Trimethylammonium is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) valued for its potent cationic surfactant properties and excellent compatibility with various formulations. This chemical is essential for industries requiring effective surface modification, antimicrobial action, and phase transfer catalysis. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile treatment, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors for its reliable performance and structural versatility.

Application

• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Acts as a primary cationic softener, providing a smooth, antistatic finish to fibers and fabrics.
• Hair Conditioners & Personal Care: Serves as a conditioning agent in rinse-off products, improving manageability and imparting a silky feel.
• Biocidal Formulations: Utilized as an active ingredient or potentiator in disinfectants, sanitizers, and preservative systems due to its antimicrobial efficacy.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
• Emulsifier & Dispersant: Stabilizes emulsions and aids in the dispersion of pigments or active ingredients in industrial and agrochemical formulations.
• Antistatic Agent: Incorporated into plastics, coatings, and films to reduce static charge accumulation.

Quality Control

Our n-Dodecyloxycarboxymethyl-N,N,n-Trimethylammonium is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided to guarantee supply consistency and traceability for your critical applications.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
