2,3-Epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride Usage And Synthesis

Description

Used in the production of cationic starch for the paper industry, 2,3-Epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (EPTMAC) caused contact dermatitis in the workers.

Chemical Properties

solid

Uses

Reagent used for synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a water soluble chitosan derivative with a fiber-reactive group.

Uses

Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride be used as a derivatizing agent to synthesize N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC), a water-soluble chitosan derivative, by reacting with chitosan. HTCC can form nanocomposite films with silver nanoparticles that show good antimicrobial property and optical transparency. Cationic starches can also be prepared by derivatization of starch with GTMAC.

General Description

Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) is a cationizing agent commonly used for starch modification.

Contact allergens

Used in the production of cationic starch for the paper industry; EPTMAC caused contact dermatitis in workers.

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen. Poison by subcutaneous route. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-, NH3, and NOx. See also AMMONIUM CHLORIDE.
