Description

Benzyldimethyl(Tridecyl)Ammonium Chloride is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound (quat) widely recognized for its potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This versatile chemical is essential for formulating effective disinfectants, sanitizers, and biocidal products across multiple industries. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the hygiene, water treatment, and industrial process sectors seeking reliable, broad-spectrum performance.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: A key active ingredient in hospital-grade disinfectants, surface cleaners, and hand sanitizers for its efficacy against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Water Treatment: Used as a biocide and algaecide in industrial cooling towers, swimming pools, and wastewater systems to control microbial growth.
• Industrial Biocides: Incorporated into paints, coatings, adhesives, and polymer emulsions to provide in-can preservation and prevent microbial spoilage.
• Oilfield & Drilling Fluids: Serves as a bactericide to prevent souring and corrosion in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, antistatic agent, and antimicrobial finish for fabrics and leather goods.
• Agriculture: Used in certain pesticide and fungicide formulations and for disinfecting agricultural equipment and surfaces.
