Description

Allylhexadecylbis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) characterized by its unique structure combining a long alkyl chain with allyl and hydroxyethyl functionalities. This dual-functional molecule is valued for its potent antimicrobial efficacy combined with excellent surface-active properties and potential for chemical modification. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial biocides, and textile treatment sectors seeking high-performance cationic surfactants and disinfectants.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Preservative: Acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams.
• Industrial Biocide & Disinfectant: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, algaecides, and swimming pool sanitizers.
• Fabric Softener & Textile Auxiliary: Imparts softness and antistatic properties to fabrics; used as a dyeing assistant.
• Oilfield & Water Treatment Chemical: Serves as a biocide and corrosion inhibitor in recirculating water systems and oilfield operations.
• Emulsifier & Phase Transfer Catalyst: Facilitates reactions and stabilizes emulsions in specialty chemical synthesis.
• Wood & Material Preservative: Incorporated into treatments to protect against mold, mildew, and bacterial degradation.
