Description

Benzylbis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Tetradecylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) valued for its potent surfactant and antimicrobial properties. This chemical is a critical ingredient in formulations requiring effective biocidal action combined with surface activity. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the disinfectant, sanitizer, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance cationic agents.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: As a key active ingredient in hospital-grade disinfectants, surface sanitizers, and algaecides.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a preservative and conditioning agent in shampoos, hair conditioners, and skin cleansers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides cleaning and antimicrobial efficacy in floor cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and food processing area sanitizers.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, antistatic agent, and biocide in fabric treatment and leather finishing.
• Oilfield & Water Treatment: Functions as a biocide and corrosion inhibitor in drilling fluids, cooling water systems, and wastewater treatment.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used as a surfactant and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adherence.

Quality Control

Our Benzylbis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Tetradecylammonium Chloride is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications is available for every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
