Description

Trimethylamine hydrochloride ( CAS 593-81-7 ), also known as trimethylammonium chloride, is the stable salt form of trimethylamine used as a surface-active and wetting agent across textile, leather, paper, and printing industries. Its salt form offers handling and storage advantages over the free amine, making it the preferred sourcing form for industrial formulators. In textile processing, it functions as a surface modifier to improve dye uptake. It enhances fiber wetting during dyeing and finishing operations. Leather manufacturers incorporate it into tanning and pre-treatment baths where controlled surface interaction with hides is required for high-quality results. In paper and packaging production, it supports surface sizing and coating formulations that require uniform wetting across fibrous substrates. This ensures consistent quality across large-scale industrial manufacturing runs. Printing and packaging applications rely on it as a wetting component in ink formulations and surface treatment processes. It is critical where consistent pigment dispersion and substrate adhesion are required for the final product. Trimethylamine hydrochloride is supplied as a white crystalline powder or granular solid. It is available in technical grade for industrial applications, with purity specifications typically ranging from 98% and above. Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with smaller packaging available for formulators and laboratory-scale procurement. This versatile chemical meets the rigorous demands of modern chemical processing and manufacturing. Contact us for supply of Trimethylamine hydrochloride Request Quote
