Description

Benzyl(3-Chloro-2-Hydroxypropyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is a versatile quaternary ammonium compound with a reactive chlorohydrin functional group, making it a valuable intermediate for chemical synthesis. This dual-functionality allows it to act as a cationic precursor and an alkylating agent, enabling the creation of specialty surfactants, biocides, and polymers. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries for developing products with tailored surface-active or antimicrobial properties.

Application

• Synthesis of Cationic Surfactants: Acts as a key intermediate for producing fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and antistatic agents.
• Biocide and Disinfectant Precursor: Used to manufacture quaternary ammonium-based antimicrobial agents for industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and pharmaceutical excipients.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce cationic functionality into polymers for applications in water treatment, papermaking, and coatings.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases in organic synthesis.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Used in the production of conditioning agents for shampoos, lotions, and other cosmetic products.

Quality Control

Our Benzyl(3-Chloro-2-Hydroxypropyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and compliance with agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment 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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
