Description

Benzyldimethyl(2-Phenoxyethyl)Ammonium is a quaternary ammonium compound with significant surface-active and antimicrobial properties. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its role in synthesizing specialty surfactants and biocides. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating disinfectants, preservatives, and fabric softeners.

Application

• Disinfectant & Biocide Formulation: A key intermediate for producing quaternary ammonium compound (QAC or "quat") based disinfectants effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses.
• Personal Care Preservatives: Used in the synthesis of cationic surfactants and preservatives for shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a precursor for surfactants in hard-surface cleaners, sanitizers, and algaecides.
• Fabric Softener & Textile Auxiliary: Imparts antistatic and softening properties in textile finishing and laundry care products.
• Oilfield & Water Treatment Chemicals: Utilized in formulating biocides for controlling microbial growth in industrial water systems and oil recovery processes.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a phase-transfer catalyst or an intermediate in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our Benzyldimethyl(2-Phenoxyethyl)Ammonium is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and related substances are 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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
