C12-18 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (C12-18-EB)

CAS 68956-79-6

C12-18 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (CAS 68956-79-6) is a high-performance quaternary ammonium compound supplied as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. It functions as a broad-spectrum bactericide, disinfectant, and cationic surfactant, exhibiting excellent efficacy against bacteria, yeasts, and viruses, making it suitable for applications such as household and industrial disinfectants, water treatment biocides, fabric softeners, antistatic agents, and textile processing formulations. With a typical alkyl chain distribution of approximately 5% C12, 60% C14, 30% C16, and 5% C18, it offers a balanced combination of antimicrobial activity and surface-active properties, providing superior emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting capabilities across a wide range of professional and consumer product formulations.

>> Main Uses

C12-18 Alkyl Dimethyl (Ethylbenzyl) Ammonium Chloride (C12-18-EB, CAS 68956-79-6) is widely used as a broad-spectrum disinfectant and bactericide in household cleaning products such as multi-purpose cleaners, disinfectant wipes, and hard surface sanitizers, as well as in industrial and institutional formulations including floor cleaners and food-contact surface sanitizers. In water treatment applications, it effectively controls bacteria, algae, and biofilm in air conditioning drain lines, cooling towers, and industrial water circuits, preventing clogging, corrosion, and system inefficiency. Additionally, it functions as a cationic surfactant and antistatic agent in fabric softeners, textile finishing treatments, and select personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners, providing softening, conditioning, and emulsifying benefits across a wide range of consumer and industrial formulations.
