Description

Dimethyltetradecylammonium Acetate is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) with a long alkyl chain, valued for its potent surfactant and antimicrobial properties. This compound is essential for formulating high-performance biocides, phase-transfer catalysts, and fabric softeners. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the industrial biocides, personal care, textile treatment, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Industrial Biocide & Disinfectant Formulations: Acts as an active ingredient in algicides, sanitizers, and disinfectants for water treatment, surface cleaning, and industrial process preservation.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in organic synthesis for alkylation, esterification, and polymerization processes.
• Textile & Fabric Softener Agent: Imparts a soft, antistatic finish to fabrics and is a key component in commercial and household fabric conditioner formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Preservative: Used as a preservative and conditioning agent in hair care products, skin creams, and other cosmetic formulations.
• Emulsifier & Surfactant: Serves as an emulsifying agent and cationic surfactant in the production of specialty emulsions, coatings, and agrochemicals.
• Antistatic Agent for Plastics: Incorporated into polymer compounds to reduce static charge accumulation on plastic surfaces and films.

Quality Control

Our Dimethyltetradecylammonium Acetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your application requirements.

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.
