Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Water Treatment
Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from behenyl alcohol typically appearing as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It is slightly soluble in water, with strong cationic surface activity, and is often supplied in dispersion or surfactant blends to enhance solubility. In water treatment, Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is used as a conditioning agent and corrosion inhibitor, forming durable hydrophobic films on metal surfaces in closed-loop and cooling systems. Its long C22 alkyl chain offers enhanced film strength and persistence, making it especially useful in systems requiring long-term protection from fouling, scaling, and microbial attack.
