Description

Dodecyl-2-Hydroxy(2-Hydroxyethyl)Dimethylammonium Fluoride is a specialized quaternary ammonium fluoride salt, valued for its unique combination of cationic surfactant properties and fluoride anion activity. This dual functionality makes it a critical intermediate and active component in advanced material science and specialty chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and personal care sectors for developing novel formulations and facilitating specific fluorination reactions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring fluorinated quaternary ammonium moieties.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly useful in fluorination and alkylation processes.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Serves as a cationic surfactant in specialty formulations for cosmetics, hair conditioners, and fabric softeners.
• Biocide & Disinfectant Precursor: Acts as a key building block for formulating quaternary ammonium compound (QAC)-based disinfectants and antimicrobial agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of fluorinated pesticides and herbicides.
• Material Science: Used in the surface modification of polymers and in the preparation of organofluorine compounds for electronic materials.

Quality Control

Our Dodecyl-2-Hydroxy(2-Hydroxyethyl)Dimethylammonium Fluoride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
