Description

Dodeclonium Bromide CAS NO 15687-13-5 is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) widely recognized for its potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This versatile chemical is essential for formulators requiring effective biocidal activity combined with surface-modifying capabilities. It serves as a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the disinfectant, personal care, and industrial preservation sectors seeking reliable and compliant active ingredients.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: A key active ingredient in hospital-grade disinfectants, surface cleaners, and hand sanitizers for broad-spectrum efficacy.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in cosmetics, shampoos, and lotions to extend shelf life.
• Industrial Biocides: Employed in cooling water systems, pulp and paper processing, and fuel storage to control microbial growth and biofouling.
• Agricultural Applications: Acts as a fungicide and algaecide in crop protection and post-harvest treatment solutions.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Provides antimicrobial finishing for fabrics and leather goods to prevent odor and degradation.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production fluids for its biocidal and surfactant properties.

Quality Control

Our Dodeclonium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residue on ignition is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
