Dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin copolymer
What is Dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin copolymer?
Dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin copolymer (CAS 25988-97-0), approved as E1063, is a cationic polyelectrolyte used in water treatment and process industries to destabilize suspended particles and facilitate their removal.
Where is Dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin copolymer used?
- Water treatment: primary coagulant or coagulant aid in clarification, coagulating colloidal solids, turbidity and negatively charged contaminants
- Pulp and paper: retention aid and drainage improvement during sheet formation
- Textile and dyehouse effluent treatment: precipitates reactive and disperse dyes before discharge
- Leather processing: supports chrome and tannin removal from tannery effluents
- It reduces downstream filtration load.
Good to know: Food-contact and potable water approvals vary by market and regional regulations; confirm compliance documentation before sourcing.
Commercial specifications
- Aqueous solution, typically 40% to 65% active content
