Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride

Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride belongs to Quaternary ammonium compounds with strong antibacterial effects and wide applications. Here is some information about the antibacterial effect and application of this material:   Antibacterial effect: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and many viruses. It causes cell death by disrupting the cell membrane structure and function of microorganisms. Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride has a strong inhibitory effect on many common pathogenic microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, etc.   Application field: Disinfectants: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is commonly used to prepare various disinfectants, such as hand sanitizers, detergents, oral disinfectants, etc. It can effectively kill bacteria and viruses, and is used for disinfection of personal and environmental hygiene. Preservatives: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can be added as a preservative to some cosmetics, shampoos, hair conditioners, and other products to extend their shelf life and prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. Medical industry: In the medical field, DTAC can be used to prepare surgical disinfectants, instrument disinfectants, wound antibacterial sprays and other products to prevent infection and kill microorganisms. Agriculture: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can be used to prepare agricultural preservatives for preventing the spread of crop diseases and controlling fungal infections on crops. Water treatment: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is also widely used in the field of water treatment, for purifying water sources, killing bacteria and algae in water, and controlling the growth of microorganisms in water.

Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, Lauryl trimethyl ammonium chloride, DTAC is colorless to light yellow liquid or off-white solid, soluble in water and ethanol, and has good compatibility with cationic and non-ionic surfactants. Good chemical stability, heat resistance, light resistance, pressure resistance, and strong acid and alkali resistance. Has excellent penetration, emulsification, and bactericidal properties.   This product can be used as a transfer catalyst for the production of para aminophenol by nitro reduction rearrangement method. It can also be used to produce building waterproof coating emulsifiers through its emulsifying properties. Hair conditioner emulsifier,  Cosmetic emulsifiers, Cationic chloroprene latex specific emulsifier, When drilling deep wells in oil fields, it is used as an emulsifier for high-temperature oil in water emulsified mud, and as a protein coagulant in the penicillin fermentation process. It can also be used in the production of anti-static agents for synthetic fibers, anti adhesive and isolation agents for latex industry, and fungicides for industry and agriculture.   Role in blood sample analysis: Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride can dissolve red blood cells, leaving white blood cells behind. It is often used as a hemolytic agent in automated blood analyzers.   The role of additives in ink production: In order to enhance the functionality of the main components, colorants and binders, and improve other characteristics of ink, additives need to be added in ink production. The main component of additives is surfactants. Adding surfactants with suitable surface activity, wetting, and health properties to ink, DTAC can make the ink have good rheological, leveling, transferability, adhesion, and good coating properties.   Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can also used to modify the surface of fly ash fibers, and the effects of modifier dosage, modification temperature, and modification time on the modification effect of fly ash fibers were studied. The modified fly ash fibers were tested and characterized using Zeta potentiometers, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The modification effect of fly ash fibers was evaluated using activation index and moisture absorption rate, At the same time, the surface modification process conditions were optimized.   Ahsuperchem manufactures DTAC with purity of 50%min--Colorless to light yellow liquid or paste, 99%min--Off-white solid.
