Dodecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride Disinfectant Chemical Cas No: 8001-54-5

Dodecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, a cationic surfactant and biocide, is widely used for its antimicrobial properties in disinfectants, sanitizers, and cleaning agents across various industries.
Dodecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (DDBAC) is a type of quaternary ammonium compound commonly used as a surfactant and biocide. It is derived from benzyl chloride and dimethylamine, with a dodecyl (C12) hydrophobic chain attached to a benzyl ammonium cation. DDBAC exhibits strong antimicrobial properties and is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. It is commonly used in disinfectants, sanitizers, preservatives, and cleaning products in various industries, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and personal care. DDBAC acts by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation or death.
