Application
It is widely used in below industries:
(1) Paper industry: It is mainly used as a liquid cationic etherification agent and massively used in cellulose, cellulose derivatives and starch transformation. When reacting with starch, it can produce cationic starch, which can be used as paper internal binder, paper reinforcer, and packing and fine cellulose interception auxiliaries.
(2) Textile industry: Liquid cationic etherification agent CHPTAC reacts with cotton fibers and thus improve the bonding of the dye; and produces cationic starch when reacting with starch, which can be used as warp sizing agent.
(3) Water treatment industry: Suspended solids in water present electronegative, and shall produce cationic polymers when reacting with liquid cationic etherification agent CHPTAC, which are widely used in water purification as flocculants.
(4) Commodity chemical industry: Cationic guar generated when reacting with liquid cationic etherification agent CTA and other substances are important daily chemicals.
