Market Definition

The 3-Chloro-2-Hydroxypropyl Trimethylammonium Chloride (CHPTAC) is also termed as liquid cationic etherification agent and widely used as cationic reagent. It helps in transforming the natural and synthetic polymer and imparts properties such as cationic starch, cationic polyacrylamide, additive, electroplating additive, paper additives, anti-static agent, surfactant, flocculants and emulsifier and others.

In the paper industry, cationic starches are produced by reacting with starch. Cationic starches help in enhancing the strength of the paper and can be used as paper internal binder, paper reinforcer and fine cellulose interception auxiliary in packing application. The increasing usage of recycled papers is leading to the development of the cationic starches and boosting the market for 3-Chloro-2-Hydroxypropyl Trimethylammonium Chloride.

In oil & gas industry, CHPTAC has wide utility as cationic reagent and has the highest CAGR. It is used in the formulation of drilling mud which is viscous and heavy fluid mixture required for oil and gas drilling operations.

Further, the textile industry is the largest consumer industry and plays a vital role to increase the economical rate. 3-Chloro-2-Hydroxypropyl Trimethylammonium Chloride is made to react with the cotton fibre and enhancing the bond with dye. It also gives ant-bacterial properties to the the cationic cotton whilst reducing the water consumption. Thus the wide applicability of technical textile is considered as a major factor, fuelling the market growth.
