Description

Ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium 2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorophenolate is a quaternary ammonium salt complex with potent antimicrobial and surfactant properties. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, combining the biocidal efficacy of a chlorinated phenol with the surface-active and conditioning characteristics of a cationic surfactant. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical, industrial preservation, and specialty chemical formulation sectors. Its unique structure makes it effective in systems requiring both disinfection and material compatibility.

Application

• Agricultural Formulations: Acts as a preservative and stabilizer in pesticide concentrates and adjuvant systems.
• Industrial Biocides: Used in cooling water treatments, pulp and paper mills, and oilfield applications to control microbial growth.
• Material Protection: Incorporated into coatings, polymers, and adhesives to provide in-can preservation and dry-film fungicidal protection.
• Surfactant Systems: Serves as a cationic emulsifier or conditioning agent in specialty cleaning and surface treatment formulations.
• Research & Development: Employed as a reference standard or active ingredient in the development of new antimicrobial agents and surfactant blends.

Quality Control

Our Ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium 2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorophenolate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and conformance to agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and quality assurance for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance and stability.
