:Guanidine, N''-hexadecyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-
Description:
Guanidine, N''-hexadecyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl- (CAS 89610-38-8) is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic hexadecyl chain and multiple methyl groups attached to the guanidine core. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it amphiphilic. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The compound is known for its surfactant properties, which allow it to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions. It is often utilized in various applications, including as a biocide, antimicrobial agent, and in formulations for personal care products. Additionally, due to its quaternary ammonium nature, it can exhibit antimicrobial activity against a range of microorganisms. However, safety and handling precautions are essential, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and pose environmental concerns. Overall, its unique chemical structure and properties make it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications.
