Description

Benzyldimethyl[3-[(1-Oxododecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) with a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, making it a highly effective cationic surfactant and biocide. This chemical is valued for its potent antimicrobial and surface-active properties, which are critical for formulation stability and performance. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and water treatment sectors seeking reliable, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Preservative: Used as a preservative in shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and creams to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Disinfectants: A key active ingredient in hard surface disinfectants, sanitizers, and algaecides for commercial and industrial settings.
• Water Treatment Biocide: Employed in cooling towers, swimming pools, and process water systems to control microbial fouling and biofilm formation.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Functions as an antimicrobial finishing agent for fabrics and leather goods to impart odor resistance and hygiene.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and production fluids as a biocide to prevent sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).
• Household Cleaning Products: Incorporated into liquid soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and fabric softeners for its cleaning and sanitizing efficacy.
