Description

Ch3(Ch2)4Nh3Br is a quaternary ammonium salt compound, specifically known as hexyltrimethylammonium bromide. This versatile cationic surfactant is valued for its excellent phase-transfer catalytic properties and surface activity, making it a critical component in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is essential for industries requiring efficient catalysts, antimicrobial agents, or specialized surfactants, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Widely used to facilitate reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly in alkylation, displacement, and polymerization processes.
• Surfactant & Micelle Formation: Serves as a cationic surfactant in the preparation of micelles, vesicles, and other organized molecular assemblies for research and industrial applications.
• Biocide & Disinfectant Intermediate: Acts as a precursor or active ingredient in formulations for antimicrobial, antifungal, and algicidal products.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate or catalyst in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Used as a structure-directing agent or stabilizer in the synthesis of nanoparticles and mesoporous materials.
• Analytical Chemistry: Functions as an ion-pairing agent in chromatography and capillary electrophoresis to improve separation efficiency.

Quality Control

Our Ch3(Ch2)4Nh3Br is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
