Description

Diammonium Tetradecyl Phosphate CAS NO 65104-55-4 is an anionic surfactant and phosphate ester salt, valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and antistatic properties. This compound is particularly significant for formulators seeking stable, high-performance ingredients compatible with a wide pH range. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating advanced formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth texture and enhancing product stability.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a key component in antistatic agents, lubricants, and softeners for synthetic fibers, improving processability and fabric hand feel.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and alkaline formulations for its superior emulsification and wetting power on oily soils.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance foliar coverage and efficacy.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a dispersant and processing aid to improve pulp drainage and sheet formation.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Plastics & Polymers: Utilized as an internal antistatic agent and processing aid for polymers like polyolefins and PVC.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a building block for synthesizing more complex phosphate ester surfactants and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Diammonium Tetradecyl Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, moisture content, and heavy metals are available upon request to 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); ensure the container is securely sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
