Description

(p-Chlorobenzyl)[2-(Dodecylamino)-2-Oxoethyl]Dimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound with a unique structure combining a long hydrophobic chain with a chlorinated aromatic group. This compound matters for its potent surface-active and biocidal properties, making it highly effective as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial agent. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the disinfectant, sanitizer, and industrial biocide sectors, as well as for research into novel surfactants and preservative systems.

Application

• Active Ingredient in Disinfectants & Sanitizers: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, hospital-grade disinfectants, and hand sanitizers due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy.
• Industrial Biocide: Applied in cooling water systems, oilfield operations, and pulp/paper manufacturing to control microbial growth and biofouling.
• Cationic Surfactant: Functions as an emulsifier, dispersant, and conditioning agent in specialty chemical formulations.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, antistatic agent, and preservative in finishing baths.
• Preservative for Consumer Products: Incorporated into cosmetics, personal care items, and industrial fluids to extend shelf life.
• Agricultural Adjuvant: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving wetting, spreading, and adhesion.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial labs for synthesizing new materials and studying structure-activity relationships of QACs.
