Description

Tetradecyldimethyl(Ethylbenzyl)Ammonium Chloride is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound (quat) widely recognized for its potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a reliable and effective cationic surfactant with broad-spectrum biocidal activity. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the disinfectant, personal care, and industrial water treatment sectors, where performance and supply chain consistency are paramount.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: A key active ingredient in hospital-grade disinfectants, surface cleaners, and food contact sanitizers due to its efficacy against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a preservative and conditioning agent in products like shampoos, creams, and lotions to prevent microbial spoilage and improve texture.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Acts as a biocide and algicide in cooling towers, pulp and paper mills, and oilfield water systems to control microbial growth and biofouling.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary, providing improved fabric handle and process efficiency.
• Agriculture: Employed as an additive in pesticide formulations and for the sanitation of agricultural equipment and facilities.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids for its biocidal and clay stabilization properties.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecyldimethyl(Ethylbenzyl)Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and microbiological efficacy are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
