Dimethyldiallylammonium Chloride (DADMAC)

A cationic quaternary ammonium monomer with two double bonds. Homopolymerizes or copolymerizes with acrylamide to make cationic PAM and fixing agents.

Technical Data

Key Properties

• Two double bonds enable free-radical polymerization
• High cationic charge density for strong charge neutralization
• Good water solubility, adaptable to various polymerization processes
• Polymer viscosity tunable through polymerization conditions

Applications

• Monomer for cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) synthesis
• Raw material for water treatment flocculants and sludge dewatering agents
• Fixing agent and antistatic agent in textile dyeing
• Retention and drainage aid in papermaking
• Modifying monomer for cosmetics and resin synthesis

Packaging & Storage

Packaging: 200 kg drum or 1000 L IBC.

Storage: Store sealed, cool and away from light; avoid high temperature and metal ion contamination. Six months shelf life unopened; low-temperature storage recommended.

Handling & Safety

The monomer is irritating. Prevent self-polymerization during storage; avoid contact with initiators and oxidizers.
