Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyloctylammonium Toluene-p-Sulphonate is a quaternary ammonium salt with surfactant and phase-transfer catalyst properties. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, acting as an effective cationic surfactant while also facilitating reactions between immiscible phases. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, textile processing, and personal care industries for applications requiring emulsification, antistatic effects, or catalytic activity.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Used to accelerate reactions between reagents in different phases (e.g., aqueous and organic) in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
• Cationic Surfactant: Functions as an emulsifier, antistatic agent, and softener in textile manufacturing and fiber treatments.
• Personal Care Formulations: Employed as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care and skincare products.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Provides biocidal properties in industrial cleaning and sanitizing formulations.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in functional fluids and coatings to protect metal surfaces.
• Dyeing Assistant: Improves dye uptake and leveling in the textile dyeing process.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of polymers and latexes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Applied in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant properties.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyloctylammonium Toluene-p-Sulphonate undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for our global B2B customers.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
