Tallow Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride CAS 8030‑78‑2 is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt antistatic agent derived from tallow fatty raw materials. It serves dual applications as plastic internal antistatic additive and functional modifier for solvent‑based coating systems. After incorporation into plastic matrix, it gradually migrates toward the material surface to build a hydrophilic conductive layer. When added into solvent‑borne coatings, it disperses within the resin system and delivers stati
Product DetailsThis tallow‑based quaternary ammonium chloride belongs to long‑chain alkyl cationic surfactant. Its molecular structure consists of hydrophobic long‑chain tallow alkyl groups and hydrophilic quaternary ammonium ionic segments. For plastic processing, it can be compounded directly or manufactured into antistatic masterbatch prior to extrusion and injection molding. Inside the polymer matrix, the active component slowly migrates outward to the plastic surface. The hydrophilic ionic moiety absorbs trace ambient moisture, forming a continuous thin conductive layer that dissipates static charges.
For solvent‑based coating production, this antistatic agent is introduced during the letdown phase under moderate stirring. It demonstrates good solubility in non‑aqueous polar solvents and mixes with coating resins. Once the solvent evaporates and coating film forms, the cationic segments are distributed on and within the solid film to lower surface resistivity and minimize dust pickup during drying and storage of coated articles.
Nevertheless, this cationic additive has application limitations. It is incompatible with anionic surfactants and anionic resin systems; direct blending will cause flocculation and precipitation. Migration‑dependent antistatic performance is humidity‑sensitive, and antistatic efficacy declines under extremely dry conditions. Excessive addition leads to surface blooming, stickiness, reduction of surface gloss and deterioration of water‑resistance on finished plastic or coating surfaces.
Typical recommended dosage ranges: 0.7 wt%‑2.2 wt% for plastic internal addition; 0.4 wt%‑1.3 wt% for solvent‑based coating formulations. Pre‑formulation laboratory evaluation is essential to inspect resin compatibility, processing stability, surface resistivity, blooming tendency, water resistance and surface gloss before mass‑scale manufacturing.
Store the product in tightly sealed packaging inside cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Avoid high‑temperature storage which accelerates thermal decomposition. Keep away from anionic raw materials during inventory storage to prevent cross‑contamination. Reseal containers immediately after partial discharging.
