Oleyl Methyl Ammonium Chloride 2 EO
Oil and Gas
Oleyl Methyl Ammonium Chloride 2 EO is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from ethoxylated oleyl amine, typically containing two ethylene oxide (EO) units. It appears as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid with a mild amine-like odor and is soluble in water and alcohols. Its structure combines a long-chain unsaturated C18 hydrocarbon tail (oleyl group), two EO units for moderate hydrophilicity, and a quaternized nitrogen for cationic activity. In the oil and gas industry, Oleyl Methyl Ammonium Chloride 2 EO is used as a cationic surfactant, corrosion inhibitor, and emulsifier in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and demulsifier formulations. Its strong surface activity and ability to adsorb onto negatively charged metal and mineral surfaces make it effective at forming protective films, reducing corrosion, and stabilizing emulsions.
