Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate benzyl chloride

Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate benzyl chloride (CAS 46830-22-2), commercially available as ADAMQUAT BZ 80, is a quaternary ammonium acrylate monomer used to introduce permanent cationic charge into polymer systems.

It functions as a reactive building block in the synthesis of cationic polyelectrolytes and surface-active polymers across water treatment, coatings, and textile processing industries worldwide.

In water treatment, it is copolymerized into flocculants and coagulants that destabilize suspended solids and colloidal particles in industrial effluent and municipal water systems for better clarity.

Cationic coatings and adhesive formulations use it to improve substrate adhesion and surface wetting on negatively charged materials such as glass, paper, and various treated textiles.

In textile and paper processing, polymers derived from this monomer provide durable antistatic and softening finishes that withstand repeated washing and heavy industrial use over time.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into conditioning polymers for hair and skin products where substantivity to biological surfaces is required for effective performance and feel.

Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate benzyl chloride is supplied as an aqueous solution, with the 80% active concentration being the standard commercial form for most manufacturing applications.

Technical grade is the primary specification available, suited for industrial polymerization and formulation use. Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on volume.
