Chemical Properties
White to Off-White Low-Melting Solid
Uses
Benzalkonium bromides are an important class of cationic surfactants. They are used as preservatives for ophthalmic, nasal and parenteral products and they are also used as a topical antiseptic and medical equipment disinfectant.
Uses
Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium bromide has been used in a study to assess the relation between chemical structure and germicidal efficacy in surface-active cations. It has also been used in a study to investigate pore size control during the synthesis of macroporous thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels.
Definition
ChEBI: Benzododecinium bromide is the organic bromide salt of benzododecinium. It is a cationic surfactant that has antispetic and disinfectant properties. It has a role as a surfactant, an antiseptic drug and a disinfectant. It is a quaternary ammonium salt and an organic bromide salt. It contains a benzododecinium.
General Description
Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium bromide is a cationic surfactant that may be used as an adsorbent for certain metals such as Cr(VI).
