Usage

Trimethylstearylammonium chloride (OTAC or 1831, CAS number 112-03-8) is a typical quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant with the molecular formula C21H46ClN, and appears as a white or pale yellow solid. With its unique molecular structure (combination of long-chain alkyl groups and quaternary ammonium salt groups), this compound exhibits excellent surface activity, emulsifying properties, flexibility, anti-static properties, and antibacterial properties, and is widely used in various fields such as industry, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection.

Textile and Leather Industry: Core Additives for Soft and Antistatic Properties
 

1. Fabric softener
OTAC forms a lubricating layer by adsorbing onto the surface of fibers, reducing the friction coefficient between fibers and making the fabric feel fluffy and soft. Its cationic properties can neutralize negative charges on the fiber surface, reduce static electricity accumulation, and are particularly suitable for anti-static treatment of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon. Experiments have shown that adding 0.5% -1% OTAC can reduce the static voltage of fabrics by more than 80%, while improving wrinkle resistance and resilience.

2. Leather Fatliquor
In leather processing, OTAC, as a fatliquor, can penetrate into the gaps between leather collagen fibers, forming an oil film to wrap the fibers, significantly improving the softness, ductility, and crack resistance of leather.

Its emulsifying properties can also promote uniform dispersion of oils and avoid local softening or hardening. A leather factory case shows that after using OTAC grease additive, the tear strength of leather is increased by 15%, and the bending fatigue life is extended by 30%.

3. Fiber modifier
OTAC can modify the surface of fibers through chemical bonding or physical adsorption, endowing them with special functions. For example, in the processing of nylon parachute fabric, OTAC can form a high-temperature resistant protective layer to prevent fiber melting caused by frictional heating during high-speed descent; In glass fiber processing, its anti-static performance can reduce electrostatic adsorption between fibers and improve weaving efficiency.

Daily chemical field: Multi functional personal care ingredients
 

1. Hair conditioner conditioner
OTAC is one of the core components of hair conditioners, and its cationic groups can bind to damaged areas of hair (with negative charges) through electrostatic interactions, closing hair scales, reducing hair frizz, and improving smoothness and glossiness. Clinical tests have shown that hair conditioners containing 0.5% OTAC can reduce hair combing force by 40% and increase fracture strength by 25%. Please note that according to the "Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification (2015 Edition)", the total amount of OTAC added in cosmetics should not exceed 2.5% to avoid scalp irritation.

2. Anti static shampoo
In shampoo, Trimethylstearylammonium chloride can neutralize static electricity generated by friction during the washing process, preventing hair from scattering, especially suitable for dry seasons or fine soft hair. It needs to be added in stages or treated by encapsulation technology with anionic surfactants (such as sodium dodecyl sulfate) to avoid precipitation.

3. Shower gel and skincare products
The emulsifying properties of OTAC make it a stabilizer for the oil components in shower gel, while its antibacterial properties can extend the shelf life of the product. In skincare products, low concentration OTAC (0.1% -0.3%) can be used as a skin conditioner to improve the texture of dry and rough skin.

Industrial emulsification and dispersion: key process additives
 

1. Asphalt emulsifier
OTAC is the core component of asphalt emulsification. Its long chain alkyl can be inserted into the gap between asphalt molecules. The quaternary ammonium group forms a stable interface facial mask with water, which disperses asphalt into tiny particles (1-10 μ m in diameter) to form an oil in water lotion. The lotion has the advantages of good fluidity, stable storage and convenient construction, and is widely used in road pavement, roof waterproofing and other fields. The case of a petrochemical enterprise shows that adding 3% OTAC asphalt lotion can reduce the construction temperature by 20 ℃ and energy consumption by 15%.

2. Silicone oil emulsifier
OTAC can emulsify high viscosity silicone oil into a stable aqueous system, which is used in cosmetics, textile auxiliaries, mold release agents, and other fields. Its emulsification efficiency is high, the formed lotion has uniform particle size (D50<2 μ m), and is resistant to shearing and high temperature (can withstand 120 ℃ short-time heating).

3. Organic bentonite modifier
The alkyl chain of OTAC can be inserted between the bentonite layers, expanding the interlayer spacing and enhancing its adsorption performance and dispersibility. Modified bentonite can be used as a thickener for paints and inks, or as a rheological modifier for drilling fluids to prevent wellbore collapse.

Environmental Protection and Water Treatment: Efficient Flocculation and Sterilization Agents
 

1. Water treatment flocculant
Trimethylstearylammonium chloride stabilizes suspended particles (such as sediment and organic matter) in water through electrical neutralization, and forms large particle flocs through bridging, accelerating sedimentation. Its flocculation efficiency is superior to traditional inorganic flocculants (such as aluminum sulfate), and the generated sludge has a small volume and good dewatering properties. A case study of a sewage treatment plant shows that after using OTAC, the COD removal rate increased by 20% and the effluent turbidity decreased to below 5NTU.

2. Antibacterial and algicidal agents
The quaternary ammonium salt group of OTAC can penetrate bacterial cell membranes, disrupt protein structures, and lead to cell death. Its killing efficiency against Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria, and algae is over 99%, and its effect is long-lasting (lasting for 72 hours). Widely used for disinfection treatment in swimming pools, industrial circulating water, hospital sewage and other scenarios.

Petroleum and Mining: Extraction and Processing Additives
 

1. Oilfield demulsifier
In crude oil exploitation, OTAC can destroy the stability of oil-water lotion and promote oil-water separation. Its mechanism includes neutralizing the interfacial charge of lotion, reducing the interfacial tension, and flocculating water droplets. A case study of an oil field shows that adding 0.05% OTAC can increase the dehydration rate of crude oil to 95% and reduce the water content to below 0.5%.

2. Mineral flotation agent
OTAC can selectively adsorb onto mineral surfaces to alter their hydrophobicity, thereby achieving the separation of minerals from gangue. For example, in phosphate ore flotation, OTAC can increase the grade of phosphate concentrate by 5% -10% and the recovery rate by 8% -12%.
