Description

2-Hydroxyethyldimethyl[Z-(9-Octadecenyloxy)]Methylammonium Chloride is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound, valued for its potent cationic surfactant and antimicrobial properties. This specialty chemical is essential for formulators requiring effective biocidal activity combined with excellent surface modification capabilities. It is primarily utilized in the production of industrial disinfectants, fabric softeners, and personal care products where its unique oleyl chain provides superior compatibility with organic systems.

Application

• Industrial Biocides & Disinfectants: A key active ingredient in formulations for hard surface cleaners, sanitizers, and algaecides for water treatment systems.
• Fabric Care & Softening Agents: Used as a cationic softener base in laundry detergents and rinse-cycle fabric conditioners to impart antistatic and softening effects.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as an emulsifier and antimicrobial preservative in hair conditioners, skin creams, and other leave-on or rinse-off formulations.
• Oilfield & Mining Chemicals: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery, and mineral processing aids.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a wetting agent, spreader, or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy.
• Paper & Textile Manufacturing: Acts as a softening agent, dye leveling agent, and antistatic agent in finishing processes.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxyethyldimethyl[Z-(9-Octadecenyloxy)]Methylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residual solvents is provided with each shipment 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
