Description

1-[(Dodecylphenyl)Methyl]Quinolinium is a quaternary ammonium salt with a unique amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophobic dodecylphenyl chain with a quinolinium head group. This compound is valued for its potent surface-active and biocidal properties, making it an effective agent for modifying material interfaces and inhibiting microbial growth. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the industrial biocides, specialty surfactants, and corrosion inhibitor sectors.

Application

• Industrial Biocide & Preservative: Used as an active ingredient in formulations for cooling water systems, paper mills, and fuel storage to control bacteria, fungi, and algae.
• Specialty Surfactant: Functions as a cationic surfactant in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and antistatic agents due to its ability to adsorb onto negatively charged surfaces.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Employed in oilfield and metalworking fluids where it forms a protective film on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst: Facilitates reactions between reactants in immiscible phases in organic synthesis, particularly for alkylation and esterification processes.
• Antimicrobial Coating Agent: Incorporated into paints, polymers, and textiles to impart durable antimicrobial properties.
• Analytical Chemistry Reagent: Serves as an ion-pairing agent in chromatography for the separation of acidic compounds.

Quality Control

Our 1-[(Dodecylphenyl)Methyl]Quinolinium is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residual solvents is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place 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, which can affect product performance and stability.
