Dodecyldimethyloctylammonium chloride

Description:

Dodecyldimethyloctylammonium chloride, with the CAS number 10361-16-7, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chains and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or powder and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. It is known for its surfactant properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension and acting as a cationic surfactant. Dodecyldimethyloctylammonium chloride is often utilized in various applications, including as a biocide, antimicrobial agent, and in formulations for personal care products. Its structure allows it to interact with biological membranes, which contributes to its efficacy in microbial control. However, due to its quaternary nature, it can also pose environmental concerns, particularly regarding aquatic toxicity. Proper handling and disposal measures are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
