Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Dimethylheptanoate is a versatile quaternary ammonium salt derivative valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to function effectively in formulations requiring both hydrophilic and lipophilic balance. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, specialty additives.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Key ingredient in agrochemical adjuvants to enhance the spreading and absorption of pesticides and herbicides.
• Surfactant component in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products and degreasers.
• Additive in textile processing for softening and as an antistatic agent.
• Corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in metalworking fluids and lubricants.
• Dispersing agent and grinding aid in pigment and dye formulations.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty quaternary ammonium compounds.

Quality Control

Our production of Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Dimethylheptanoate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure consistency and reliability. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and key specifications is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and performance.
