Description

1-(2-Aminoethyl)-2-Heptadecyl-4,5-Dihydro-1-Methyl-1H-Imidazolium Methyl Sulphate is a quaternary ammonium salt belonging to the imidazolinium class, valued for its cationic surfactant properties and chemical functionality. This compound is engineered to provide excellent surface activity, emulsification, and compatibility with various formulations, making it a versatile intermediate. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical synthesis industries for applications requiring conditioning, antistatic, or emulsifying agents.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling on natural and synthetic fibers.
• Personal Care Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and other leave-on products.
• Antistatic Agents: Used in formulations for plastics, synthetic fibers, and electronics to dissipate static charge.
• Industrial Biocides & Sanitizers: Functions as a potent active ingredient or a formulation aid in disinfectant products due to its quaternary ammonium structure.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Employed in industrial water treatment and metalworking fluids to protect metal surfaces.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst: Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible solvents in organic synthesis.
• Paper & Pulp Chemicals: Used as a softener, debonding agent, or retention aid in paper manufacturing processes.

Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Aminoethyl)-2-Heptadecyl-4,5-Dihydro-1-Methyl-1H-Imidazolium Methyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residue specifications are available upon request 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
