Description

[3-(Dodecyloxy)-2-Hydroxypropyl]Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) known for its potent cationic surfactant and antimicrobial properties. This chemical is valued for its dual functionality, providing both surface activity and biocidal efficacy in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial biocides, and textile treatment sectors for creating disinfectants, fabric softeners, and conditioning agents.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: Acts as a key active ingredient in hard surface disinfectants, hospital-grade cleaners, and hand sanitizers due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
• Fabric Softeners & Conditioners: Imparts a soft, antistatic finish to textiles and hair care products, providing excellent conditioning and manageability.
• Industrial Biocides: Used in cooling water systems, oilfield applications, and pulp & paper processing to control microbial growth and biofilm formation.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into shampoos, conditioners, and skin cleansers for its emulsifying and conditioning benefits.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a surfactant and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance leaf coverage and active ingredient uptake.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids for its biocidal and clay stabilization properties.

Storage

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