Description

(3-Acrylamidopropyl)Trimethylammonium Chloride is a high-purity, cationic monomer featuring a polymerizable acrylamide group and a permanently charged quaternary ammonium moiety. This compound is essential for synthesizing advanced cationic polymers with permanent positive charges, which are crucial for applications requiring stable performance across a wide pH range. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the water treatment, paper, textile, personal care, and enhanced oil recovery industries for creating flocculants, retention aids, conditioning agents, and viscosifiers.

Application

• Water Treatment: A key monomer for producing cationic polyacrylamides (CPAM) used as flocculants and coagulant aids for sludge dewatering and clarification of industrial wastewater.
• Paper Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of wet-strength resins and retention/drainage aids to improve paper quality, fiber retention, and production efficiency.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a monomer for cationic dye fixatives and finishing agents to enhance color fastness and fabric softness.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed in the production of cationic conditioning polymers for hair care products (conditioners, shampoos) and skin care formulations.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): A component in synthesizing polymers used for mobility control and profile modification in oilfield applications.
• Biotechnology & Research: Used to create cationic hydrogels, chromatography media, and substrates for surface modification in diagnostic and research applications.

Quality Control

Our (3-Acrylamidopropyl)Trimethylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization, to ensure it meets precise specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

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