DMAE Bitartrate

A free‑flowing, crystalline white powder, N,N‑Dimethylethanolammonium (DMAE) bitartrate is the 1:1 salt of DMAE and tartaric acid (CAS 5988-51-2). It is supplied as a white, free‑flowing solid suitable for industrial and formulation use.

Key technical characteristics

• Molecular formula: C8H17NO7
• Molecular mass: 239.22 g/mol
• Appearance: white crystalline powder
• Melting point: 102–111 °C
• Density: 1.0–1.3 g/mL
• pH: 3–5 for a 10 wt% aqueous solution (indicates good water solubility)

Primary applications

• Cosmetic and topical formulations: used as a formulation additive and tightening/skin‑conditioning agent
• Formulation acidulant and pH modifier in aqueous systems
• Emulsification aid in oil/water systems
• Resin and polymer chemistry: used as a curing or co‑curing agent where tertiary amine salts are required

Product advantages

• Solid, easy‑to‑handle crystalline form that simplifies dosing in dry or wet processes
• Acid salt form provides acidity and buffering capacity while delivering the DMAE cation
• Water‑soluble — suitable for incorporation into aqueous and semi‑aqueous formulations

Handling, storage and safety considerations

• Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area in tightly closed containers
• Protect from moisture and excessive heat
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, dust mask) when handling powders to avoid inhalation or contact
• Follow applicable local regulations and safety data sheets for transport, storage and disposal
