For procurement managers and R&D scientists in the chemical industry, understanding the precise specifications of raw materials is fundamental to ensuring product quality and process efficiency. Cetrimonium Bromide (CTAB), identified by CAS number 57-09-0, is a widely used cationic surfactant with diverse applications. As a dedicated supplier of fine chemicals from China, we aim to provide clarity on the key specifications buyers should look for when purchasing CTAB.

The primary specification for Cetrimonium Bromide is its purity, typically measured by titration or chromatography. For most demanding applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and advanced research, a purity of ≥99.0% is considered the industry standard. Our CTAB meets this high standard, ensuring that its performance characteristics are not compromised by impurities. Low purity grades may be suitable for less critical applications, but for sensitive processes like DNA extraction or precise nanoparticle synthesis, high purity is non-negotiable.

Another important characteristic is the appearance of the product. High-purity CTAB is generally described as a white to almost white powder or crystalline solid. Variations in color or physical form can sometimes indicate the presence of impurities or issues during manufacturing or storage. We ensure our CTAB consistently meets the specified appearance, providing visual confirmation of its quality.

Moisture content is also a critical parameter, especially for hygroscopic materials like CTAB. A low moisture content, typically ≤0.8% (as determined by Karl Fischer titration), is desirable to maintain product stability and prevent clumping. Proper packaging and storage conditions, which we meticulously adhere to, are essential for managing moisture absorption.

When you decide to buy Cetrimonium Bromide, consider the supplier's ability to provide comprehensive documentation, such as Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). These documents provide detailed information on the batch-specific quality and safety handling procedures. As a reputable manufacturer, we provide readily available documentation to support your procurement and regulatory needs.

Understanding these specifications—purity, appearance, moisture content, and accompanying documentation—is vital for making informed purchasing decisions. By choosing a reliable Chinese supplier like ourselves, you can be confident in sourcing high-quality Cetrimonium Bromide that meets your exact requirements for various industrial and research applications.
