The Uses of 2,3-Epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride
Reagent used for synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a water soluble chitosan derivative with a fiber-reactive group.
The Uses of 2,3-Epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride
Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride be used as a derivatizing agent to synthesize N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC), a water-soluble chitosan derivative, by reacting with chitosan. HTCC can form nanocomposite films with silver nanoparticles that show good antimicrobial property and optical transparency. Cationic starches can also be prepared by derivatization of starch with GTMAC.
General Description
Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) is a cationizing agent commonly used for starch modification.
Contact allergens
Used in the production of cationic starch for the paper industry; EPTMAC caused contact dermatitis in workers.
Safety Profile
Suspected carcinogen. Poison by subcutaneous route. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-, NH3, and NOx. See also AMMONIUM CHLORIDE.
