Description

Benzyl(Cyclohexyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat) with a unique structure combining aromatic and aliphatic moieties. This compound is valued for its potent cationic surfactant properties, making it an effective agent for modifying surface interactions and providing antimicrobial activity. It serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): A key catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly in alkylation and esterification processes.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Used as a biocide or preservative in industrial water treatment systems, disinfectant formulations, and material protection.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions as a cationic surfactant in specialty cleaning products, fabric softeners, and as an emulsifier in polymer and resin systems.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of more complex quaternary ammonium compounds and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Additive: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance adhesion, penetration, and overall efficacy on plant surfaces.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Provides protective properties in metalworking fluids and industrial cooling systems.

Quality Control

Our Benzyl(Cyclohexyl)Dimethylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and performance.
