Dioctyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Water Treatment
Dioctyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by two octyl hydrophobic chains and two methyl groups bonded to a central nitrogen atom, typically appearing as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, and has strong cationic surface activity, allowing it to adsorb readily onto negatively charged surfaces. In water treatment applications, Dioctyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is primarily used as a broad-spectrum biocide and algaecide in cooling towers, industrial water systems, and wastewater treatment plants. It disrupts microbial membranes and biofilms while also functioning as a dispersant and corrosion inhibitor in formulations requiring long-lasting antimicrobial protection.
