Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt compound commonly used as a preservative and fungicide. In the cosmetics industry, it is widely used in various personal care products, such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand disinfectant, etc. Its main functions include the following aspects:

 

  • Antibacterial effect: Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi, preventing product contamination and spoilage by microorganisms. In cosmetics, it can extend the shelf life of products and ensure the hygiene and safety of products during use.
  • Maintain product stability: Some cosmetics contain components that are susceptible to microbial contamination, such as plant extracts. Benhentrimonium chloride can protect the stability of these components to a certain extent, preventing their deterioration or failure.
  • Improving product quality: Behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can also be used as a dandruff remover to help remove the dandruff layer on the scalp and improve its condition. In addition, in some personal care products, it can also play a role in softness, anti-static, etc., making hair smoother and easier to comb.
