Molecular Weight 173.31 g/mol

Tetra propyl ammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) is a quaternary ammonium base, often used as a structure-directing agent in the synthesis of zeolites. It's a strong organic base, stronger than sodium or potassium hydroxide, and is typically found as a colorless to light yellow aqueous solution. TPAOH also acts as a phase transfer catalyst and has applications in the electronics, pharmaceutical, and pesticide industries. 
 

Industrial Uses

1. Polymers & Resins

  • Zeolite Synthesis: TPAH is crucial in the formation of zeolites, which are porous crystalline materials with various applications in catalysis and separation. 
  • Structure Directing Agent: TPAH acts as an SDA, guiding the arrangement of atoms during zeolite crystal growth. 
  • Removal after Synthesis: The tetrapropylammonium cation is removed from the zeolite framework by heating (thermolysis), leaving behind a pure zeolite structure. 
  • Cleaning Agent: In the electronics industry, TPAH is used for cleaning post-chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) surfaces, ensuring the quality and reliability of semiconductor devices.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Phase Transfer Catalyst: TPAH facilitates reactions in organic synthesis by acting as a phase transfer catalyst, enhancing reaction rates.
