Description

N,N,N,N',N',N'-Hexaethyldecyl-1,10-Diammonium Dichloride is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) surfactant characterized by its twin cationic head groups and a long decyl chain. This molecular structure is critical for applications requiring strong surface activity, emulsification, and antimicrobial efficacy. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the industrial biocides, personal care, and specialty chemical sectors seeking high-performance cationic agents. The compound is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for demanding industrial processes.

Application

• Industrial Biocide & Disinfectant Formulations: Acts as a potent active ingredient in algicides, bactericides, and fungicides for water treatment, industrial process fluids, and surface disinfectants.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a conditioning agent and preservative booster in hair care and skincare formulations due to its substantive cationic properties.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliaries: Serves as a softener, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases in organic synthesis, particularly for alkylation and esterification.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and biocide in drilling muds and production fluids.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Functions as a retention aid, drainage aid, and biocidal agent in papermaking processes.
• Clay & Mineral Processing: Used as a modifier and dispersant for organoclays and other mineral surfaces.

Quality Control

Our N,N,N,N',N',N'-Hexaethyldecyl-1,10-Diammonium Dichloride is manufactured under a cGMP-compliant quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration, identification by FT-IR, and control of key impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and compliance with agreed specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
