Description

Tetradecylammonium (O,p-Dichlorophenoxy)Acetate is a specialized quaternary ammonium compound with a phenoxyacetate counterion, offering unique surfactant and biocidal properties. This chemical is valued for its dual functionality, combining the cationic activity of the ammonium center with the herbicidal activity of the dichlorophenoxy moiety. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of advanced agrochemicals, industrial biocides, and as a phase-transfer catalyst in specialized organic synthesis. Our supply ensures high purity and batch-to-batch consistency for critical industrial and research applications.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key surfactant and active ingredient enhancer in herbicides and fungicides.
• Industrial Biocides: Used in the manufacture of preservatives for paints, coatings, and cooling water systems.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
• Research & Development: Serves as a building block or intermediate for developing new bioactive compounds and specialty surfactants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and antimicrobial treatment in finishing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Potential application as a corrosion inhibitor and biocide in drilling and production fluids.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecylammonium (O,p-Dichlorophenoxy)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 results for assay, related substances, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and stability.
