Description

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate is a cationic surfactant that interacts synergistically with benzalkonium chloride to kill bacteria. It has been shown to be effective against influenza virus and some bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate is also an antibacterial agent that is used in cosmetics and personal care products. This compound is a hydrophobic molecule that forms micelles with fatty acids at high concentrations, which provides antimicrobial activity by disrupting the lipid bilayer membrane of bacteria. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate has a phase transition temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius, which means it can be used in liquid form at room temperature.
