Product Usage
N-Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Chloride, with CAS No. 112-02-7 and chemical formula C₁₉H₄₂ClN, appears as white crystalline powder, easily soluble in polar solvents such as water and ethanol, with stable chemical properties, and is a commonly used cationic surfactant. Its core applications are in organic synthesis, daily chemicals, water treatment and other fields. As a phase transfer catalyst, it can accelerate reactions between aqueous and organic phases, improving reaction efficiency and product purity. In daily chemicals, it is used as a conditioner in hair conditioners and shampoos, with antistatic and softening effects. In water treatment, it serves as a bactericide and algaecide to inhibit microbial growth. It can also be used for antistatic treatment in the textile industry, being an indispensable functional chemical raw material with small dosage and remarkable effect.
