While Shandong Kerui Chemicals is renowned for its water treatment portfolio, the company’s expertise extends far beyond that domain. Kerui has established itself as a comprehensive manufacturer of specialty chemicals, offering a wide array of cationic and non-ionic surfactants that serve critical functions in industries ranging from textiles to personal care. Among these are the tertiary amines and quaternary ammonium compounds that are foundational to modern chemical applications.
At the core of these products are alkyl dimethyl amines, such as DMA14 (Tetradecyl Dimethylamine) and DMA1618 (HexadecylOctadecyl Dimethyl Amines) . These tertiary amines are versatile intermediates used in synthesizing high-quality cationic quaternary ammonium salts . For example, DMA14 reacts with benzyl chloride to produce benzyl quaternary ammonium salt, a widely used bactericide and textile leveling agent . The production of these amines requires sophisticated manufacturing processes, which Kerui has perfected in its automated facilities, ensuring high purity (≥97% amine content) and low color (APHA ≤30) .
These surfactants play a vital role in various industrial sectors:
-
Textile & Dyeing: They act as softening agents, dispersants, and antistatic agents, improving fabric feel and processing efficiency .
-
Personal Care: As emulsifiers and conditioning agents, they are essential in hair dyes, shampoos, and conditioners .
-
Metalworking: They serve as corrosion inhibitors, lubricants, and rust inhibitors in metalworking fluids .
-
Oilfield: They are used as emulsifiers in drilling muds and as release agents .
With a 20-year track record in the R&D and manufacturing of chemical auxiliaries, Kerui Chemical has built a reputation for delivering high-quality products that meet diverse customer requirements . The company’s 100-acre facility in the Zhanhua Chemical Industrial Park is a testament to its production capacity and commitment to innovation . Whether it’s the cationic softener for fabric finishing or the dispersant for pigments, Kerui’s surfactant solutions offer reliability and consistency that global industries depend on.
