Description

1-(2-Aminoethyl)-2-Henicosyl-4,5-Dihydro-3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is a high-purity, quaternary ammonium salt derivative of imidazoline, valued for its cationic surfactant properties and ability to function as a versatile chemical intermediate. Its molecular structure, featuring a long alkyl chain and functional amino and hydroxyl groups, makes it particularly effective for applications requiring surface modification, emulsification, and chemical synthesis. This compound is essential for R&D and production in sectors such as specialty surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and advanced material science.

Application

• As a cationic surfactant and emulsifier in industrial cleaning formulations and textile processing aids.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) for biocides and fabric softeners.
• Active ingredient or precursor for corrosion inhibitors in oilfield chemicals and metalworking fluids.
• Component in hair conditioners and personal care products for its antistatic and conditioning properties.
• Used in asphalt emulsifiers and other construction chemical applications.
• Employed in phase transfer catalysis for organic synthesis reactions.
• Research chemical for developing novel ionic liquids and advanced materials.
• Potential use in gene delivery systems and other biotechnological research due to its cationic nature.

Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Aminoethyl)-2-Henicosyl-4,5-Dihydro-3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
