Description

Dodecylethyldimethylammonium Bromide is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) widely recognized for its potent cationic surfactant properties. This compound is essential for formulations requiring strong antimicrobial, antistatic, and surface-modifying effects. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial biocides, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable, high-performance ingredients.

Application

• As a primary biocide and disinfectant in industrial, institutional, and agricultural cleaning formulations.
• As an antistatic agent and softener in textile and fabric conditioning products.
• As an emulsifier and conditioning agent in hair care and personal care products.
• As a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing.
• As an algicide and microbiocide in water treatment and cooling tower systems.
• In the formulation of clay stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors for the oil and gas industry.
