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.
