  • Applications

    Dodecylpyridinium chloride (CAS number: 104-74-5) is a quaternary ammonium surfactant commonly used as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial agent in cleaning and sanitation formulations for household and industrial use; it is also employed as a wetting and emulsifying additive in cosmetics and personal care formulations; in coatings, inks, and adhesives it improves wetting, dispersion, and surface compatibility; in polymer and plastics processing it can act as a processing aid or functional additive; and in textile finishing it serves as a conditioning and antimicrobial treatment.
