Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide

Description:
Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a positively charged trimethylammonium group. It is commonly used as a surfactant due to its amphiphilic nature, which allows it to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions. DTAB is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications, including in the formulation of detergents, personal care products, and as a phase transfer catalyst. Its critical micelle concentration (CMC) is an important property, indicating the concentration at which micelles form in solution. Additionally, DTAB exhibits antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in disinfectants and antiseptics. However, it is essential to handle DTAB with care, as it can be toxic to aquatic life and may cause skin irritation. Overall, Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide is a valuable compound in both industrial and laboratory settings, owing to its surfactant properties and effectiveness in various chemical processes.
