Description

1,10-Bis-(Menthyloxycarbonylmethyl-Dimethyl-Ammonium)-Decandichloride Racemate, also known as Decamethoxine or Bp2000, is a high-purity, synthetic bis-quaternary ammonium compound. This versatile chemical is valued for its potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties, making it a critical component in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial biocide sectors for its efficacy and stability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Antiseptics & Disinfectants: A key active ingredient in surgical scrubs, wound cleansers, and pre-operative skin preparations.
• Personal Care Preservatives: Used in creams, lotions, and cosmetic formulations to prevent microbial spoilage and extend shelf life.
• Industrial Biocides: Effective in cooling water systems, oilfield applications, and as a preservative in paints and coatings.
• Surface Disinfectants: Formulated into hard-surface cleaners for healthcare, food processing, and institutional settings.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Imparts antimicrobial properties to fabrics and leather goods.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in synthetic chemistry for novel quaternary ammonium compounds.

Quality Control

Our Decamethoxine (Bp2000) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles 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, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
