Hexadecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, with the CAS number 122-18-9, is a quaternary ammonium compound. It appears as a white or yellowish crystalline powder. The compound is soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone. It has a molecular formula of C25H46ClN and a molecular weight of approximately 396.09 g/mol. The melting point of this product is around 57 - 63 °C. It has good chemical stability under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents and reducing agents. The product is often supplied in various purities, and our factory offers it with high - quality and at a competitive price.
Hexadecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride has a wide range of applications. In the field of disinfection and sterilization, it is a powerful cationic surfactant with excellent bactericidal properties. It can effectively kill a variety of bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. It is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories to disinfect medical equipment, surfaces, and floors. In the industrial sector, it can be used as an emulsifier, antistatic agent, and corrosion inhibitor. For example, in the textile industry, it can be added to fabric softeners to make fabrics more antistatic and easier to handle. In the oil - field industry, it can prevent the corrosion of pipelines and equipment.
When using Hexadecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride for disinfection, a suitable concentration needs to be prepared. Generally, for general surface disinfection, a solution with a concentration of 0.1% - 0.5% can be used. First, dissolve the appropriate amount of the product in water. Stir well until it is completely dissolved. Then, use a sprayer or a cloth to apply the solution to the surface to be disinfected. Make sure the surface is fully wetted and let it stand for a certain period of time, usually 10 - 30 minutes, to ensure the effectiveness of disinfection. When using it as an industrial additive, the dosage should be determined according to the specific process requirements. It is usually added during the production process and mixed evenly with other raw materials.
Case 1: A large - scale hospital was facing a high risk of cross - infection due to the large number of patients. They used a 0.3% solution of Hexadecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride to disinfect the floors, beds, and medical equipment in the wards. After a week of regular disinfection, the number of nosocomial infections decreased significantly. The bacteria and fungus counts on the surfaces were reduced to a safe level, which effectively protected the health of patients and medical staff.
Case 2: In a textile factory, the fabric produced often had static electricity problems, which affected the subsequent processing and product quality. By adding Hexadecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride as an antistatic agent during the fabric softening process, the static electricity on the fabric was greatly reduced. The fabrics became smoother and easier to process, and the production efficiency was improved.
