Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Pentamethyltallow Alkyltrimethylenedi-, Dichlorides is a high-purity, dialkyl quaternary ammonium salt primarily valued for its potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a highly effective cationic agent with excellent substantivity on various surfaces. Key industries that rely on this material include industrial and institutional cleaning, water treatment, textile processing, and personal care, where it functions as a powerful disinfectant, biocide, fabric softener, and conditioning agent.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: A key active ingredient in high-performance hard surface disinfectants, sanitizing wipes, and algaecides for industrial and institutional use.
• Water Treatment Biocide: Used in cooling towers, pulp and paper mills, and oilfield operations to control bacteria, algae, and biofilm formation.
• Textile & Fabric Softener: Imparts durable softness and antistatic properties to fabrics in commercial laundry and textile manufacturing processes.
• Personal Care Conditioning Agent: Employed in hair conditioners and skin creams as a cationic emulsifier and conditioner that provides excellent feel and manageability.
• Industrial Process Aid: Acts as an emulsifier, dispersant, and antistatic agent in various chemical synthesis and material processing applications.
• Agricultural Adjuvant: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving adhesion and spreading on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Pentamethyltallow Alkyltrimethylenedi-, Dichlorides is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, activity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, amine content, and moisture are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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 and performance.
