Description

2-Chloroethyl-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammoniumchloride is a versatile quaternary ammonium compound with a reactive chlorinated alkyl chain. This chemical matters for its dual functionality, serving as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and cationic polymers. Industries such as textile manufacturing, personal care, and water treatment require it for its ability to impart cationic charge and modify surface properties.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: Primary building block for synthesizing cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in fabric softeners and hair conditioners.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce quaternary ammonium groups into polymers for creating flocculants and ion-exchange resins.
• Textile Auxiliary: Key component in the production of antistatic agents and dye-leveling agents for synthetic fibers.
• Biocide Synthesis: Intermediate in the manufacture of quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) based disinfectants and preservatives.
• Personal Care Formulations: Employed in the synthesis of conditioning agents for shampoos and skin care products.
• Paper Chemicals: Used in the production of retention aids and drainage aids in papermaking processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Intermediate for clay stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors used in drilling and production fluids.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chloroethyl-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammoniumchloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and handling.
