Myristyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride

Myristyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride

Quaternary ammonium compounds are any of a group of ammonium salts in which organic radicals have been substituted for all four hydrogens of the original ammonium cation. They has a central nitrogen atom which is joined to four organic radicals and one acid radical. The organic radicals  may be alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl, and the nitrogen can be part of a ring system. They are prepared by treatment of an amine with an alkylating agent. They show a variety of physical, chemical, and biological properties and most compounds are soluble in water and strong electrolytes.

Such compounds include:

• Benzalkonium Chloride ( CAS RN: 8001-54-5)
• Benzethonium Chloride CAS 121-54-0
• Cetalkonium Chloride( CAS 122-18-9)
• Cetrimide ( CAS 8044-71-1)
• Cetrimonium Bromide ( CAS 57-09-0)
• Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CAS 123-03-5)
• Stearalkonium Chloride ( CAS 122-19-0)

They have properties of disrupting micro-organisms' cell processes and surfactants. These compounds are used as:

• Active Ingredient for Conditioners
• Antistatic Agent
• Detergent Sanitisers
• Softner for textiles and paper products
• Phase Transfer Catalyst
• Antimicrobials
• Disinfection Agents And Sanitizers
• Slimicidal Agents
• Algaecide
