Application
Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium Chloride Dihydrate serves as a versatile and effective cationic surfactant, known for its antimicrobial efficacy, particularly against the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens. This compound, a quaternary ammonium substance, presents multiple practical applications. It functions as a corrosion inhibitor and acts as a synergist to enhance the toxicity of the pesticide indoxacarb against various pests. Additionally, it serves as a model for studying the thermal degradation pathways of benzyl QACs. Moreover, it holds potential as a quaternary ammonium composition for treating infectious diseases such as herpes, pseudomonas, staph infections, hepatitis, and other ailments, thanks to its beneficial properties.
