VISIOMER® MAPTAC

VISIOMER® MAPTAC (3-Trimethylammoniumpropyl methacrylamide chloride) is a quaternized aminofunctional monomer used to prepare water-soluble cationic polymers. As a methacrylamide monomer, it offers increased hydrolytic stability compared to methacrylic esters. Supplied as a 50 wt% aqueous solution, VISIOMER® MAPTAC is utilized in polymers for flocculation aids, friction reducers in oil production, retention, and dewatering agents. Its strong affinity for creatine makes it an essential building block for hair care products.

Typical Applications

• Methacrylamide improves hydrolytic stability and longevity
• In flocculants for water treatment, improves particle aggregation
• Essential building block for cationic polymers used as friction reducers
• Enhanced adhesion to creatine in hair care

Benefits at a glance
