Description

(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)Dimethyl[3-[(1-Oxododecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound with a long-chain fatty amide moiety, offering a unique combination of cationic and hydrophobic properties. This structure makes it highly effective as a specialty surfactant and biocide, providing excellent surface activity and antimicrobial performance. It is primarily utilized in industrial and institutional formulations where robust cleaning, disinfection, and material compatibility are critical.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Disinfectants & Sanitizers: A key active ingredient in formulations for hard surface disinfection in food processing plants, healthcare facilities, and agricultural settings.
• Algaecides and Biocides for Cooling Water Systems: Used to control microbial growth, biofilm formation, and algae in industrial cooling towers and water treatment circuits.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a biocide in drilling muds, completion fluids, and produced water treatment to prevent sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and corrosion.
• Textile and Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent, antistatic agent, and antimicrobial finish for fabrics and hides.
• Personal Care Preservatives: Serves as a preservative in rinse-off cosmetic and personal care products due to its efficacy against a broad spectrum of microbes.
• Wood Preservation: Used in formulations to protect timber from fungal decay and insect infestation.
• Paint and Coating Additives: Incorporated as an in-can preservative to prevent spoilage and as a film preservative for dry-film fungicidal protection.
