Description

[(Dodecyltolylidene)Dimethylene]Bis(Trimethylammonium) Dichloride is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) valued for its potent cationic surfactant and antimicrobial properties. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a reliable and effective active ingredient with a stable chemical structure. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the disinfectant, sanitizer, and industrial biocide sectors, as well as for specialized applications in textile conditioning and research chemistry.

Application

• Broad-Spectrum Disinfectants & Sanitizers: A key active ingredient in formulations for hard surface disinfectants, hospital-grade cleaners, and food-contact surface sanitizers.
• Industrial Process Biocides: Used in cooling water systems, pulp and paper processing, and oilfield operations to control microbial growth and biofouling.
• Textile & Fabric Softeners: Acts as a cationic softener and antistatic agent, providing a soft hand feel to fabrics and textiles.
• Algaecides & Fungicides: Employed in agricultural and recreational water treatment to control algae and fungal growth.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Preservatives: Utilized at low concentrations as a preservative in rinse-off products to ensure product shelf-life.
• Research & Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or standard in organic synthesis and microbiological research.

Quality Control

Every batch of our [(Dodecyltolylidene)Dimethylene]Bis(Trimethylammonium) Dichloride is manufactured and tested under a rigorous quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for biocidal active substances. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and performance consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
