Product Description

Methyl triethyl ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution (MTEAH) is a quaternary ammonium compound that is commonly used as a catalyst and surfactant in various chemical applications. Its chemical formula is C7H18NOH.

MTEAH is a colorless to yellowish liquid that is soluble in water and has a strong ammoniacal odor. It is typically supplied as a concentrated aqueous solution containing 25-50% MTEAH by weight.

MTEAH is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, particularly in reactions involving the alkylation of amines and other nucleophiles. It is also used as a surfactant in the production of detergents and other specialty chemicals.

As with other quaternary ammonium compounds, MTEAH should be handled with care due to its potential for skin and eye irritation. Protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn when handling it. It should also be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and incompatible materials.
