Description

Bis(2-Hydroxy-3-Decyloxypropyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) with a unique structure combining long-chain decyloxy groups with hydroxyl functionality. This molecular architecture provides a powerful combination of cationic surfactant properties and enhanced solubility, making it a versatile intermediate and active ingredient. It is primarily sought by formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial biocides sectors for its emulsifying, conditioning, and antimicrobial efficacy. The compound, identified by CAS NO 57945-70-7, offers a balance of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity critical for advanced formulation chemistry.

Application

• As a cationic surfactant and emulsifier in hair conditioners, cream rinses, and skin care products.
• As a fabric softener and antistatic agent in textile manufacturing and laundry formulations.
• As an active ingredient in industrial and institutional (I&I) disinfectants and sanitizers.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and additive in metalworking fluids and oilfield chemicals.
• As a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing.
• As a coating additive to improve adhesion and wetting properties in paints and inks.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Hydroxy-3-Decyloxypropyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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.
