(Dicocoalkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride)

Overview of Dicocoalkyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride

Dicocolkyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt compound that belongs to the category of cationic surfactants. Its molecular structure contains two long-chain alkane groups, usually derived from coconut oil, and is therefore also known as Cocodium dimethylammonium chloride. This compound has two long carbon chains in its chemical structure, endowing it with excellent hydrophobic properties, while the quaternary ammonium salt portion provides hydrophilicity. Therefore, Dicocolkyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride can form interfacial activity between water and oil, effectively reducing surface tension and exhibiting excellent emulsifying, wetting, and bactericidal properties. Due to its gentleness and efficiency, Dicocolkyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is widely used in personal care products, cleaning agents, and textile printing and dyeing.
