Description

Butyldodecylbis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound valued for its potent cationic surfactant properties. This chemical is essential for formulating high-performance products requiring strong emulsification, antistatic effects, and biocidal activity. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Fabric Softeners: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent softening, antistatic, and lubricating properties.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in disinfectant and sanitizer formulations for its surfactant and antimicrobial efficacy.
• Emulsion Stabilizer: Serves as an effective emulsifying agent in the production of polymer emulsions and agrochemical formulations.
• Antistatic Agent: Applied in plastics and synthetic fiber processing to reduce static charge buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Utilized in oilfield and metalworking fluids for its film-forming and inhibitory characteristics.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst: Facilitates reactions between reactants in immiscible phases in organic synthesis.

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