Purchasing informationView parameter guidance ↓
- Chemical identity / CAS
- A blend of TTPC and a specific polymeric quaternary ammonium compound. Polyquat alone does not uniquely identify the polymer, so no overall CAS is assigned; verify identity documents for each active and polymer in the actual product.
- Physical form / Type
- Product form, viscosity, color and stabilizers must match actual supply.
- Key purchasing comparisons
- TTPC and polymer identityHigh-salinity water and anionic additivesTarget organisms and fluid performance
- Packaging and delivery
- Confirm containers and transfer connections according to actual formulation viscosity and solvent, and verify the original blend label and packaging integrity.
Identity and physical form identify the product; specific concentration, grade, packaging and uses are governed by mutually confirmed formulated-product documents.
01 / Product and applications
Uses and product form
Chemical identity / Technical type
A product combination of TTPC and a specific polymeric quaternary ammonium compound; polymer type and ratio require supply-document confirmation.
Appearance and delivery form
Actual form, color and stabilizers must match product documents.
02 / Specification selection
Key purchasing parameters
| Items to confirm | Relevance to purchasing and use |
|---|---|
| TTPC and polymer identity | Prevent different Polyquats from being treated as one specification. |
| High-salinity water and anionic additives | Validate dissolution, phase behavior and efficacy. |
| Target organisms and fluid performance | Consider microbial control together with reinjection and fracturing requirements. |
Include parameters, test methods and acceptance checkpoints in purchasing requirements to compare specifications.
03 / Applications and limits
Applications and conditions of use
These are starting points for conditional verification. Specific product suitability still requires joint confirmation through product documents, operating conditions and destination requirements.
Additional checks before use
- No on-site blend ratios are provided.
- Not every TTPC and Polyquat combination has been validated.
- Do not use oilfield products in water involving human exposure.

06 / Frequently asked questions
Purchasing FAQs
How does it differ from TTPC alone?
It also contains polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds and auxiliaries; evaluate the complete product.
Can pool Polyquat data be reused?
No. Water quality, exposure and uses are entirely different.
How is efficacy demonstrated?
Use validation data for actual oilfield water, target organisms and fluid performance.

Tributyltetradecylphosphonium chloride
TTPC
A quaternary phosphonium candidate for industrial and oil and gas water. Compatibility of the cationic ingredient with actual fluids is a purchasing priority; it cannot directly replace THPS simply because both are quaternary phosphonium salts.
Functional groupAlgaecides · Specialized formulation
Polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds
Polyquat
A polymeric quaternary ammonium category found in dedicated pool algaecides and industrial blends. Polyquat does not identify a single chemical; verify the specific polymer, intended use and compatibility with the primary disinfection system.

Oilfield formulations
Select for a specific treatment stage: produced water, reinjection, fracturing or surface water storage. Efficacy, corrosion and fluid compatibility require validation under the same actual operating conditions; one test cannot represent an entire oilfield.

Purchasing and applications
Why is the generic name Polyquat insufficient in a TTPC / Polyquat blend?
Polyquat is a category of polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds, not one chemical specification. Identify the specific polymer and formulated-product model when purchasing TTPC blends so documents and trials can be compared.

Troubleshooting
TTPC / Polyquat separates in high-salinity produced water: how should comparisons be arranged?
High salinity, oil and existing additives jointly define the actual system. Use produced water with documented origin and the full additive combination when investigating separation; deionized-water trials cannot establish field conclusions.

Purchasing and applications
How should a TTPC / Polyquat trial observation period cover actual storage and transport waiting times?
A short-term count-reduction report cannot establish whether treated water still meets requirements after waiting in storage. Specify field water source, waiting time and sampling points, distinguishing initial efficacy from subsequent protection.
