Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyl-3-(Tridecyloxy)Propylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) characterized by its long hydrophobic chain and hydrophilic hydroxyethyl groups. This unique structure provides excellent surface-active properties, making it a valuable ingredient for formulating specialty surfactants and biocides. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective cationic surfactants with conditioning or antimicrobial efficacy.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in hair conditioners and fabric softeners for superior cationic conditioning.
• Key active ingredient in industrial and institutional disinfectants and sanitizers.
• Emulsifier and antistatic agent in specialty textile processing and finishing chemicals.
• Component in personal care formulations such as skin cleansers and lotions for mildness and emulsification.
• Additive for oilfield chemicals, serving as a corrosion inhibitor or biocide.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other specialty quaternary ammonium compounds.
• Ingredient in agricultural adjuvants to enhance the efficacy of pesticides or herbicides.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyl-3-(Tridecyloxy)Propylammonium Chloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications is provided and 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
