Description

[2-Hydroxy-3-(Tetradecyloxy)Propyl]Dimethyl[2-[(2-Methyl-1-Oxoallyl)Oxy]Ethyl]Ammonium Chloride CAS NO 93942-68-8 is a specialized quaternary ammonium compound with a complex amphiphilic structure, combining a long hydrophobic chain with a reactive methacrylate ester group. This unique molecular architecture makes it a highly effective and versatile polymerizable surfactant and cationic monomer for advanced material synthesis. It is primarily utilized by industrial chemists and formulators in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer sectors to impart permanent surface-active properties, enhance adhesion, and modify rheology.

Application

• Reactive Surfactant in Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a polymerizable emulsifier/stabilizer for acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene lattices, becoming chemically bound to the polymer particle for enhanced latex stability and film properties.
• Cationic Monomer for Specialty Polymers: Used to synthesize polymers with permanent cationic charges for applications in flocculants, conductive materials, and ion-exchange resins.
• Surface Modifier for Coatings and Inks: Imparts improved substrate wetting, adhesion promotion (particularly to difficult substrates), and anti-static properties in solvent-based and radiation-curable formulations.
• Additive for Fiber and Textile Treatment: Provides durable softness, antistatic, and dye-leveling properties when incorporated into polymer backbones for fiber finishes.
• Component in Oilfield Chemicals: Serves as a building block for synthesizing cationic polymers used as clay stabilizers, fluid loss additives, and corrosion inhibitors in drilling and production fluids.
• Intermediate for Bioactive Molecule Synthesis: The reactive methacrylate group allows for grafting onto biomolecules or other polymers for creating targeted delivery systems or functional biomaterials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and reactivity. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
