Jul 15, 2024

Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide belongs to Quaternary ammonium compounds, this product has good chemical stability, heat resistance, light resistance, pressure resistance, and strong acid and alkali resistance and its properties are as follows:

 

1. Appearance: Different purities of this material has different appearance:

30%&50%---Colorless to light yellow liquid, 70%--White to light yellow paste, 99%--White powder

2. Solubility: It is soluble in water and can co dissolve with organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, etc.

3. Surface activity properties: It is an ionic surfactant commonly used as a micelle forming agent. Due to the presence of hydrophobic hexadecyl chains and hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt groups in its molecular structure, it can form micelle structures in water, giving it surface active ability.

4. Emulsification: Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide can form stable lotion, including oil-water lotion and oil-water lotion. This makes it widely used as an emulsifier in daily life and industrial applications.

5. Sterilization performance: Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide has strong bactericidal performance and good inhibitory effect on microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Therefore, it is often used in disinfection, disinfectants, and medical and health products.

6. Preservative properties: Due to its bactericidal ability, Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is also widely used as a preservative, which can effectively extend the shelf life of cosmetics, personal care products, and household items.

 

In short, this product has excellent properties of penetration, softening, emulsification, anti-static, biodegradability, and sterilization. If you want to know more about it, welcome to visit us at www.ahsuperchem.com.
