C12-14 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (C12-14-EB)
CAS 85409-23-0
C12-14 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (CAS 85409-23-0) is a high-performance quaternary ammonium compound featuring a mixed C12-C14 alkyl chain and an ethylbenzyl functional group, offering enhanced surface activity and broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with 80% active matter content, exhibiting excellent solubility in water and polar organic solvents. This cationic surfactant demonstrates outstanding stability across a wide pH range and effective bactericidal, algicidal, and virucidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses. It is widely used as a disinfectant in healthcare facilities, an algicide in industrial water treatment systems, and an antistatic agent or emulsifier in textile and polymer processing. With low free amine content and strict quality control, this product ensures reliable performance in various formulations requiring rapid microbial control and surface modification.
>> Main Uses
C12-14 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (C12-14-EB, CAS 85409-23-0) serves as a broad-spectrum disinfectant and bactericide in healthcare facilities, public spaces, and household cleaning products, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, and fungi on hard surfaces and skin. In water treatment applications, it functions as an efficient algicide and bactericide for controlling microbial growth in cooling towers, swimming pools, and industrial wastewater systems, preventing biofilm formation and ensuring system hygiene. Additionally, it acts as a versatile cationic surfactant in industrial processes, including as an antistatic agent for textiles and plastics, an emulsifier for asphalt and polymer emulsions, and a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, leveraging its excellent surface adsorption and formulation compatibility.
