Description

1-Dodecylpyridinium Chloride Hydrate, 98 % is a high-purity quaternary ammonium salt (quat) surfactant and cationic disinfectant. This compound is valued for its potent antimicrobial and surface-active properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring biocidal efficacy and charge modification. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial biocides sectors for its reliable performance and stability.

Application

• Antimicrobial Agent: Used as an active ingredient in disinfectant and sanitizer formulations for healthcare, food processing, and institutional cleaning.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key cationic surfactant and phase-transfer catalyst in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Personal Care Preservative: Incorporated into cosmetic and personal care products like shampoos and conditioners for its preservative and conditioning effects.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Functions as a softening agent, antistatic agent, and antimicrobial finish for fabrics and non-woven materials.
• Oilfield Chemistry: Employed as a clay stabilizer and biocidal additive in drilling and completion fluids to control microbial growth.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized in biochemical research as a cationic detergent for cell lysis and protein solubilization.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Acts as a biocide and retention aid in papermaking processes to improve efficiency and product quality.
• Water Treatment: Applied as an algicide and bactericide in industrial cooling water and recreational water systems.
