:Decyltrimethylammonium
Description:
Decyltrimethylammonium, with the CAS number 15053-09-5, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic decyl chain and three methyl groups attached to a nitrogen atom. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it a surfactant and a cationic agent. It is typically used in various applications, including as a biocide, antimicrobial agent, and in formulations for personal care products due to its ability to reduce surface tension and enhance solubility. The compound is known for its effectiveness in disrupting microbial cell membranes, which contributes to its antimicrobial properties. Additionally, it can form micelles in solution, aiding in the emulsification of oils and other hydrophobic substances. Safety considerations are important, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental risks. Overall, Decyltrimethylammonium is valued in industrial and consumer products for its surfactant properties and efficacy in microbial control.
