Alias: Coco trimonium methosulfate, lauryl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate, etc.
English Name: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate
Molecular Formula: C₁₅H₃₅NO₄S
Molecular Weight: 325.51
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance: Usually white solid or powder.
Odor: Slightly ammonium - like smell.
Solubility: Easily soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ether.
Stability: It has good chemical stability, and is resistant to light, heat, pressure and strong acid. Its aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline, and rich foam will be generated when shaken.
Product Indicators
Solid Content: Common product solid content is 90% and other specifications, which may vary slightly among different manufacturers.
Ionic Type: Cationic.
pH Value: The pH value of a 5% aqueous solution is usually between 5 and 9.
Functions and Applications
Textile and Fiber Field: Mainly used to prepare antistatic liquids, which can endow fabrics with good antistatic properties. It can also be used for fabric softening finishing, making the fabric feel soft and smooth.
Oil and Gas Exploitation Field: Used to prepare low - surfactant liquids, which helps to improve the exploitation efficiency.
Cosmetics Field: Used as a conditioner in cosmetics, such as hair conditioners and hair - treatment creams. It can improve the dry and wet combing property of hair, has a synergistic emulsifying and thickening effect, and also plays a role in softening and antistatic.
Mineral Processing Field: Can be used as a flotation agent for the separation and enrichment of minerals.
Other Fields: Can be used to extract precious metals from catalysts and separate rare - earth elements; can improve the adhesion of coatings in inks; can be used as a neoprene emulsifier, a protein coagulant in the penicillin fermentation process, a fire - fighting foaming agent, etc. It can also be used as a water quality stabilizer for large - scale chemical equipment.
Usage Method
It can be prepared into a solution with a concentration of 3% - 20% according to different application scenarios, and can be compounded with non - ionic, cationic and weakly cationic silicones.
Packaging and Storage
Packaging: Usually packed in 180 - kg plastic drums, and can also be customized according to customer requirements.
Storage: Should be stored in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. Keep the packaging sealed to prevent moisture.
Safety Precautions
Although the product is usually relatively safe, direct contact with eyes and skin should still be avoided. If accidentally contacted, rinse immediately with a large amount of clean water. In addition, it may be toxic to aquatic organisms, so environmental protection should be paid attention to during use and disposal.
