Adogen® 464 (85%), made from synthetic or vegetable based raw materials, is a methyl tri C8-C10 ammonium chloride. Adogen 464 (85%) quaternary is an easy to handle liquid and more lipophilic than most dialkyl quats. As a solvent extraction reagent for metals, the product is especially useful for extraction from neutral or alkaline leach liquors. As a phase transfer catalyst, it is useful for systems that are reaction limited, where it is desirable to have the majority of the catalyst present in the organic phase.
