Dodecyltrimethylammonium

Description:
Dodecyltrimethylammonium, also known as dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a positively charged trimethylammonium group. This amphiphilic nature allows it to function effectively as a surfactant, facilitating the reduction of surface tension in various applications. DTAC is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its concentration and temperature. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for use in formulations such as detergents, emulsifiers, and disinfectants. The compound exhibits antimicrobial properties, which contribute to its use in personal care products and industrial applications. Additionally, dodecyltrimethylammonium can form micelles in solution, enhancing its effectiveness in solubilizing hydrophobic substances. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be toxic to aquatic life and may cause skin irritation upon contact. Overall, DTAC is valued for its surfactant properties and effectiveness in various chemical formulations.
