A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →This material (CAS 157905-74-3) is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound, a dialkyl dimethyl ammonium methylsulfate supplied at approximately 82% actives. Quaternary ammonium salts of this type are used as fabric-softening, antistatic, and conditioning agents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydrogenated tallow made of?
The hydrogenated tallowalkyl portion of this quaternary is derived from tallow fatty acids that have been hydrogenated to saturate the alkyl chains. In this material it forms one of the long alkyl groups on a dimethyl ammonium methylsulfate quaternary structure (CAS 157905-74-3). It is supplied as a cationic active at approximately 82%.
What is DHTDMAC used for?
Dialkyl dimethyl ammonium methylsulfate quaternaries of this class are used as cationic fabric-softening actives in rinse-added formulas, as antistatic charge-neutralizing agents, and as substantive surface-conditioning film formers. This grade is supplied at ~82% actives for formulating those systems.
What are the actives content and CAS number for this quaternary?
This material is CAS 157905-74-3, a hydrogenated tallowalkyl(2-ethylhexyl)dimethyl ammonium methylsulfate supplied at approximately 82% actives. A Certificate of Analysis confirming actives and a current SDS ship with each lot.
What HS code is used for this quaternary ammonium methylsulfate?
It classifies under HS 2923.90, quaternary ammonium salts and hydroxides, other. Confirm the destination-country tariff line with your broker, as national subheadings vary.
How is this cationic softener supplied in bulk?
RawSource supplies this quaternary in drums, IBC totes, and larger bulk for industrial softener and antistatic formulation. Request a bulk quote for current pricing, packaging options, and lead time; we do not publish list pricing because it tracks volume and freight.
