Description

2-Ammonio-1-Methylethyl Sulphate is an important quaternary ammonium salt with versatile reactivity. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and functional polymers. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and agrochemical industries for its ability to impart cationic properties and enhance product performance.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: A crucial building block for the production of cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and disinfectants.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce cationic charges into polymers for applications in water treatment flocculants, paper retention aids, and conductive materials.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators, where its cationic nature aids in foliar adhesion.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in the manufacture of softening agents, antistatic agents, and dye-fixing agents for natural and synthetic fibers.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Found in the synthesis of conditioning agents for shampoos, creams, and lotions, providing softness and manageability.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Acts as a precursor for compounds used in industrial cooling water systems and metalworking fluids to prevent rust and scale.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ammonio-1-Methylethyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided and 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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
