Usage

General Description

Quaternary ammonium compounds, di-C12-18-alkyldimethyl, chlorides are a type of disinfectant commonly used in household cleaning products and industrial settings. They are positively charged molecules that work by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, leading to their inactivation. These chemicals are effective against a wide range of pathogens and are often found in products such as disinfectant wipes, surface cleaners, and hand sanitizers. However, it is important to use these compounds as directed and to avoid prolonged exposure, as they can be irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
