Description

Diethyl[2-(Methacryloyloxy)Ethyl]Tetradecylammonium Bromide is a specialized quaternary ammonium salt monomer featuring a polymerizable methacrylate group and a long hydrophobic alkyl chain. This unique structure makes it a critical building block for synthesizing antimicrobial and surface-modifying polymers. It is essential for manufacturers in the advanced materials and specialty chemical sectors seeking to impart permanent biocidal or cationic properties to coatings, resins, and functional polymers.

Application

• Antimicrobial Polymer Synthesis: Key monomer for creating polymers with permanent, non-leaching antimicrobial activity for medical devices, coatings, and textiles.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to graft cationic, hydrophobic functionalities onto surfaces (e.g., silica, cellulose) to alter wettability, adhesion, or biofouling resistance.
• Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC) Precursor: Serves as an advanced intermediate for synthesizing novel biocides and disinfectants with enhanced stability.
• Ion-Exchange Resins & Membranes: Incorporated into polymer matrices to develop materials for water treatment, catalysis, or separation processes.
• Dental & Biomedical Materials: Functional component in restorative resins, adhesives, or implant coatings to prevent bacterial colonization.
• Paper & Textile Chemicals: Imparts softness, antistatic, or biocidal properties when copolymerized into treatment formulations.
