Chemical NameN-(2-Acryloyloxyethyl)-N-benzyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride
Chemical SynonymsDABC; DMAEA-BQ; Adamquat BZ 80; Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate benzyl chloride quaternary salt; Acryloyloxyethylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride
CAS No.46830-22-2
Molecular FormulaC₁₄H₂₀ClNO₂
Molecular Weight269.77 g/mol
Product properties
Colorless to light yellow clear liquid (typically supplied as ~75% aqueous solution, stabilized with MEHQ). Quaternary ammonium monomer bearing a permanently cationic charge and a polymerizable acryloyl group, enabling radical copolymerization with acrylamide and other vinyl monomers. The benzyl substituent imparts enhanced hydrophobicity relative to methyl-quat analogs, contributing to differentiated performance in flocculation, retention, and antimicrobial applications.
Storage
Refrigerated (0–10 °C); heat-sensitive; keep container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Packing
Available in 5 kg, 25 kg, and 200 kg drums; customized packaging upon request.
Application
High-performance cationic monomer for the production of high-molecular-weight cationic polyelectrolytes. Key uses include water-treatment flocculants, papermaking retention and drainage aids, oilfield clay stabilizers, antistatic agents, and antimicrobial coatings.
