Description

Cetyltrimethylammonium Hydrogensulfate is a high-purity quaternary ammonium salt (quat) surfactant, valued for its potent cationic properties and excellent emulsifying and dispersing capabilities. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as a phase transfer catalyst, emulsifier, and antistatic agent across diverse industrial processes. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, polymer, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Widely used in organic synthesis to facilitate reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, improving yield and reaction rates.
• Emulsifier & Dispersant: Serves as a key ingredient in the formulation of hair conditioners, fabric softeners, and cosmetic creams for its conditioning and antistatic effects.
• Textile Auxiliary: Employed as a softener and antistatic agent for synthetic fibers, enhancing fabric handle and processing.
• Polymerization Aid: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in emulsion polymerization processes for plastics and synthetic rubbers.
• Biocide & Sanitizer Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of other quaternary ammonium compounds for disinfectant and preservative formulations.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized in ion-pair chromatography and as a surfactant in various analytical techniques.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Functions as a structure-directing agent or stabilizer in the preparation of nanoparticles and mesoporous materials.
• Paper & Leather Processing: Applied as a softener and antistatic agent in specialty paper and leather treatment processes.

Quality Control

Our Cetyltrimethylammonium Hydrogensulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residue levels. We are committed to supplying material that meets the stringent requirements of industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 and performance.
