Description

3,3-Ionene is a synthetic cationic polyelectrolyte belonging to the ionene polymer family, characterized by quaternary ammonium groups within its backbone. This unique structure provides strong electrostatic interactions, making it a highly effective agent for modifying surface charge and flocculation. It is a critical material for industries requiring precise control over colloidal stability and surface properties. Key applications span water treatment, paper manufacturing, and advanced material science.

Application

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Acts as a powerful flocculant and coagulant aid for the removal of suspended solids, organic matter, and clarification of process water.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a retention and drainage aid, as well as a strength additive to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a dye-fixing agent and antistatic agent to enhance color fastness and fiber processing.
• Biomedical & Cosmetics: Serves as a conditioning polymer in hair and skin care formulations and is researched for antimicrobial coatings and drug delivery systems.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use in chemical flooding to improve oil displacement efficiency by modifying reservoir rock wettability.
• Surface Modification: Applied to create cationic surfaces on materials like silica, glass, and membranes for improved adhesion or filtration properties.

Quality Control

Our 3,3-Ionene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including determination of molecular weight distribution, cationic charge density, and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
