Specialty Monomers Product Line Overview

DADMAC

DADMAC (CAS 7398-69-8), also known as Diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, is a quaternary ammonium compound that is commonly used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including water treatment, paper production, and personal care products.

Some common uses of DADMAC include:

Water treatment: DADMAC is often used as a coagulant in water treatment plants to remove impurities and particles from wastewater. It can also be used as a flocculant to help clarify water.
Paper production: DADMAC is used as a retention aid in paper production to improve paper strength and reduce the amount of paper pulp needed in the process.
Personal care products: DADMAC is a common ingredient in hair care and skin care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, and lotions. It is used as a conditioning agent to help soften and detangle hair, and as a moisturizing agent to help hydrate and soothe skin.
Textile industry: DADMAC is used in the textile industry as a softener and antistatic agent for fabrics.
Oil and gas industry: DADMAC is used as a corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor in oil and gas production. It can also be used as a demulsifier to separate oil and water.

It’s important to note that DADMAC is a chemical compound and should be handled with care. It should only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and under appropriate safety measures.

NVP

NVP, also known as N-vinylpyrrolidone or 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one, is a chemical compound that is used in a variety of applications. Some common uses of NVP include:

As a monomer in the production of polymers: NVP is a monomer that can be polymerized to form a range of homopolymers and copolymers. These polymers have a wide range of applications, including as adhesives, coatings, and as components in personal care products.
In the production of pharmaceuticals: NVP is used as a solubilizer and a binder in the production of some pharmaceuticals. It can also be used as an excipient, which is an inert substance added to a drug to help deliver it to the body.
In personal care products: NVP is used in a range of personal care products, such as hair sprays, hair gels, and skin creams. It can act as a film-forming agent, a thickener, and a humectant, which helps to retain moisture.
In the production of adhesives: NVP is used in the production of some types of adhesives, such as those used in the construction industry.
In the production of coatings: NVP is used in the production of some types of coatings, such as those used to protect metal surfaces.

Other Specialty Monomers

Acrylonitrile is used primarily for synthetic fibers.
Ethylidene Norbornene is used primarily for the production of EPDM rubber.
Methacrylamidopropyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is used primarily to produce polymers that remove impurities from water.

The Specialty Monomer category also features 3 cross-linkers: Allyl methacrylate, Glycidyl Methacrylate, and Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, all are used to enhance the strength of coatings and adhesives.
