Description

[2-(Methacryloyloxy)Ethyl]Dimethylammonium Nitrate is a specialized quaternary ammonium methacrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting permanent cationic functionality to polymers. This compound is essential for synthesizing high-performance materials with enhanced adhesion, antistatic properties, and compatibility with various substrates. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the water treatment, personal care, coatings, and advanced material sectors seeking to develop polymers with specific charge characteristics.

Application

• Flocculants and Coagulants: A critical monomer for synthesizing cationic polyacrylamides (CPAM) used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, and papermaking processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of cationic conditioning polymers for hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skin care formulations to improve manageability and feel.
• Cationic Coatings and Inks: Imparts permanent positive charge to resins, enhancing adhesion to negatively charged surfaces like metals, glass, and certain plastics for industrial and graphic arts applications.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Employed in the synthesis of polymers that modify the viscosity and flow characteristics of injection fluids.
• Antistatic Agents: Serves as a precursor for polymers that dissipate static electricity in packaging films, electronic components, and synthetic fibers.
• Biomedical Materials: Used in research for creating hydrogels, drug delivery systems, and antimicrobial surfaces due to its polymerizable and cationic nature.
• Ion Exchange Resins: A functional monomer for producing specialty cation exchange or chelating resins.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards. Production is monitored through in-process controls and final product analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality management systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); protect from humidity and moisture ingress during handling and storage to prevent degradation or clumping.
