Description

Alkyl(C12-C16) Dimethyl 3,4-Dichlorobenzyl Ammonium Chloride is a high-performance quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) belonging to the benzalkonium chloride family, valued for its potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This compound is engineered to deliver superior biocidal efficacy and stability across a wide range of pH and temperature conditions. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial, institutional, and agricultural sectors requiring reliable and effective disinfection.

Application

• Industrial Biocide & Disinfectant: A key active ingredient in formulations for hard surface disinfectants, sanitizers, and algaecides used in food processing, dairy, and beverage industries.
• Agricultural Applications: Used as a fungicide and bactericide in crop protection formulations and for disinfecting agricultural equipment and facilities.
• Water Treatment: Employed as a microbiocide in cooling towers, pulp and paper mill systems, and other industrial water circuits to control bacterial and algal growth.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a biocide in drilling fluids, fracturing fluids, and produced water systems to prevent microbial-induced corrosion and spoilage.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in process baths and finishing chemicals.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: A potent component in concentrated formulations for commercial-grade floor cleaners, bathroom disinfectants, and hospital-grade sanitizers.
