Description

Dimethyldioleylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) surfactant valued for its excellent softening, antistatic, and emulsifying properties. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to impart a soft, smooth feel to various substrates and its compatibility with cationic systems. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the textile, personal care, and industrial chemical sectors for formulating fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and specialty surfactants.

Application

• Primary active ingredient in commercial and domestic fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
• Key conditioning agent in hair care products such as rinses and deep conditioners.
• Antistatic agent for synthetic fibers and plastics processing.
• Emulsifier and dispersant in the formulation of industrial cleaners and polishes.
• Softening agent for paper and tissue products.
• Component in clay and mineral processing aids.
• Additive in asphalt emulsions and road construction chemicals.
• Biocide and algicide in certain industrial water treatment formulations.

Quality Control

Our Dimethyldioleylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

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); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
