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.
