Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyldioleylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound valued for its excellent cationic surfactant properties and compatibility with various formulations. Its structure provides effective conditioning, emulsification, and antistatic performance, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding industrial and personal care applications. This product is essential for manufacturers in the textile, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking high-performance, oil-soluble quaternary ammonium salts.

Application

• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: As a key cationic softener base, it imparts a soft, smooth hand feel to fabrics and provides durable antistatic properties.
• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Cosmetics: Acts as a primary conditioning agent, delivering excellent detangling, manageability, and shine to hair.
• Industrial Emulsifiers & Dispersants: Used in the formulation of oil-based systems, pesticides, and coatings for its emulsifying and stabilizing capabilities.
• Antistatic Agents for Plastics & Synthetic Fibers: Incorporated into polymer melts or applied as a topical treatment to reduce static charge buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Utilized in oilfield and metalworking fluid formulations for its film-forming and surface-active properties.
• Biocide & Sanitizer Formulations: Serves as a potentiating agent or active ingredient in certain disinfectant compositions due to its cationic nature.

Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyldioleylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, amine value, and moisture content are provided to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 which may affect product quality.
