In 1924, D L. Friedell proposed an explanation for the antibacterial activity process of cationic surfactants, which involves the disintegration, modification, and release of nitrogen and phosphorus substances from the cellular structure of basic proteins. It is generally believed that cationic surfactants achieve bactericidal or antibacterial effects through the following steps: firstly, they directly act on proteins to change their nature and disrupt them; Secondly, it inhibits metabolism by interacting with enzymes; The third is the role of cell infiltration and membrane disruption; The fourth is to stimulate glycolytic reactions.   The inhibition of microbial activity by cationic surfactants is to prevent their growth, thereby limiting the concentration of microorganisms and avoiding further pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to study the minimum inhibitory concentration at which cationic surfactants can prevent microbial growth. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) varies with different microorganisms or cationic surfactants, and also varies with changes in the usage environment.   Kawabata's research suggests that the antibacterial mechanism of quaternary ammonium cationic fungicides is that the fungicide adsorbs onto the surface of negatively charged bacteria, diffuses through the cell wall, binds with the bacterial plasma membrane to rupture, and the bacteria die due to the release of their contents. T. E. Cloete's research indicates that the action of antibacterial agents is to first adsorb onto the surface of bacterial cells, then cross the cell wall or membrane to reach its target site, such as the cell membrane, respiratory system, enzymes, and genetic material.   Ahsuperchem provides many kinds of quaternary ammonium compounds products, if you have any interests or want to know more about them, please feel free to visit www.ahsuperchem.com.

Tetramethyl ammonium chloride, TMAC, easily soluble in water and alcohols, belongs to Quaternary ammonium compounds. It has a lot of applications in many fields, the following mainly introduces one of the most important functions of Tetramethyl ammonium chloride in oilfield exploitation.   Tetramethylammonium chloride is widely used as a shale inhibitor in oilfield exploitation. The clay content in shale is high. When water-based drilling fluid comes into contact with shale, it can cause clay to expand and disperse, leading to wellbore collapse. Shale swelling and dispersion when encountering water are caused by the dissociation and hydration of exchangeable cations on the surface of shale in water, forming a diffusion double layer with negative charge and generating electrostatic repulsion. Therefore, drilling fluid should have two major functions-preventing or delaying water migration from the wellbore to the wellbore, and increasing the connectivity between mineral particles on the wellbore. Cationic surfactants can produce surface active cations after dissociation in water, which can adsorb on the clay surface, neutralize the negative charge on the clay surface, and inhibit shale expansion and dispersion, thereby stabilizing the wellbore.   Ahsuperchem is the stable supplier of Tetramethylammonium chloride, we supply TMAC with the purity of 50% liquid and 99% powder, if you have any interests in this material, please contact us freely.  

Replacing positively charged inorganic ions on the surface of clay with positively charged quaternary ammonium cations to produce organic active clay with only oleophilicity. The quaternary ammonium salts used for organic active clay mainly include Octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, Octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and Dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Among them, Dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride has the best effect and the largest dosage.   Organic active clay is widely used as a paint anti-settling agent and thickener to improve the quality of paint. Until recently, the amount of organic active clay was used in paint, and most of which was made from Distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Organic active clay is also widely used in oilfield drilling mud to change the lubricity and rheological properties of the system, and is used as a drilling fluid to prevent oil well scrapping caused by sticking during drilling.   Dioctadecyl methyl benzyl ammonium chloride is a new type of organic active clay modifier that has emerged in recent years. The modified organic active clay has excellent swelling and settling properties and is increasingly being widely used.

Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant commonly used as a softener and antistatic agent. In fabric softeners, CTAC can play the following roles:   Soft Fabric: Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can adsorb on the surface of fabric fibers, forming a thin film that makes the fabric soft and smooth. This can improve the texture of the fabric and increase its comfort. Anti static electricity: The static electricity generated by fabric friction is one of the common problems that people encounter. CTAC can reduce the electrostatic charge of fabrics, giving them anti-static properties and reducing the discomfort and troubles caused by static electricity. Improving the wrinkle resistance of fabrics: Due to the properties of its surfactants, Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can help fabrics maintain good wrinkle resistance. It can change the surface tension between fabric fibers, reduce friction between fibers, and thus reduce wrinkles in the fabric. Improving the washing resistance of fabrics: Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can react with salts and oils in water to form insoluble precipitates, thereby reducing the adhesion of stains to fabrics. This improves the washing and stain resistance of the fabric, extending its service life.   We supply Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride regularly, if you want to know more about this material, please visit us at www.ahsuperchem.com.    

Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) is an organic compound commonly used as an emulsifier. It belongs to the quaternary ammonium salt class compounds and has good surface activity and emulsifying properties.   Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide can reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water phases and form a stable emulsion system. Its presence in the emulsion causes oil droplets to form a dispersed phase in the aqueous phase, providing the emulsifying function of the emulsifier. The molecular structure of Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide has two alkyl chains and two methyl quaternary ammonium salt groups, which enable it to form a micelle structure in water.   The function of emulsifiers is to enable immiscible substances (such as oil and water) to mix with each other and maintain a stable emulsion dispersion system. DDAB can stabilize the dispersion of oil droplets and prevent their re aggregation during the emulsification process, resulting in a uniformly distributed emulsion system. In addition, Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide can also adjust the viscosity and consistency of emulsions, improving the texture and fluidity of products.   Due to its excellent emulsification performance, Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide is widely used in the preparation of emulsified products in fields such as food, cosmetics, and medicine. It can be used to prepare emulsion moisturizers, emulsion cosmetics, emulsion food additives, etc. At the same time, Didecyldimethylammonium bromide also has good bactericidal and anti-corrosion effects, so it is often used as an antibacterial emulsifier.   Ahsuperchem provides Didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide 50%&80% liquid and 98% solid, if you have any interests, please contact us directly.
