Trimethylamine hydrochloride

Trimethylamine hydrochloride (CAS 593-81-7) is the hydrochloride salt form of trimethylamine, commonly referenced as Me3N.HCl, trimethylammonium chloride, or FEMA 3241. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under the amines category with HS code 29221190.

In textile and leather processing, trimethylamine hydrochloride functions as a surface modification agent, where its quaternary-like nitrogen chemistry promotes wetting and dye uptake on fibrous substrates. In printing and packaging applications, it serves as a colorant auxiliary, improving ink adhesion and pigment dispersion on treated surfaces.
