Description

Trimethyl[3-(Tridecyloxy)Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) surfactant characterized by a long hydrophobic alkyl chain. This compound is valued for its potent cationic surfactant properties, offering excellent emulsification, antistatic, and antimicrobial efficacy. It is primarily utilized in industrial and specialty chemical formulations where surface modification, biocidal activity, or phase transfer catalysis is required.

Application

• As a cationic surfactant and emulsifier in industrial cleaning and degreasing formulations.
• As an antistatic agent in polymer processing and textile manufacturing.
• As a biocide or preservative in water treatment systems, oilfield applications, and certain material protection products.
• As a phase transfer catalyst (PTC) in organic synthesis reactions, particularly for alkylation and esterification processes.
• As a fabric softener component and conditioner in textile auxiliaries.
• As a corrosion inhibitor additive in specialty coatings and metalworking fluids.

Quality Control

Our Trimethyl[3-(Tridecyloxy)Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and performance consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
