Cetrimide

Description:
Cetrimide, with the CAS number 8044-71-1, is a quaternary ammonium compound primarily used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. It is characterized by its surfactant properties, which allow it to reduce surface tension and enhance the solubility of other substances. Cetrimide is typically a white to pale yellow solid or a viscous liquid, and it is soluble in water, making it effective in various formulations. Its antimicrobial activity is attributed to its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes, leading to cell lysis. Cetrimide is commonly found in medical and personal care products, including antiseptic creams and shampoos, due to its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Additionally, it is used in laboratory settings for sterilization purposes. While generally safe for topical use, it can cause skin irritation in some individuals, and care should be taken to avoid ingestion or contact with eyes. Overall, cetrimide is valued for its disinfectant properties and versatility in both healthcare and industrial applications.
