Overview of Hexadecyl Pyridinium ChlorideHexadecyl Pyridinium Chloride, also known as pyridine chloride, the chemical formula is C21H38ClN, has the characteristics of rich and fine foam, low degreasing power, low irritation to skin and hair, and good biodegradability, and so on. It is a quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant and a widely used disinfectant. The product is non-toxic, can be ingested by mouth, and has no irritation to skin and mucous membranes.

Hexadecyl Pyridinium Chloride

Features of Hexadecyl Pyridinium Chloride

Physical properties: Cetylpyridinium chloride is a white or yellowish solid powder often containing a crystalline water molecule. Its melting point is about 77-83 ° C. The substance dissolves easily in ethanol, water, and chloroform but hardly in ether.

Chemical property: Cetylpyridinium chloride is a quaternary ammonium cationic Surfactant with good surface activity. At the same time, it is also an effective disinfectant to a variety of bacteria and viruses that have a killing effect.

Stability: This substance is stable at room temperature but flammable and incompatible with strong oxidizers and alkalis. 

Safety: Cetylpyridine chloride is considered to be a moderately toxic substance with a 50% lethal dose (LD)(rat, Oral) of 200 mg/kg. In addition, it is irritating and, therefore, requires proper precautions in operation and use.

Advantages of Hexadecyl Pyridinium Chloride

Good surface activity and sterilization: Cetylpyridinium chloride can effectively reduce surface tension with good wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilizing properties. At the same time, it is also a highly effective disinfectant, which kills various bacteria and viruses, so it is widely used in oral care products, water treatment systems, and other fields.

Mild and non-irritating to skin and mucosa: Cetylpyridinium chloride is mild and non-irritating to skin and mucosa. It can be safely used in oral cleaning care products without causing oral discomfort or allergic reactions.

Wide application range: Cetylpyridinium chloride can be used not only for oral cleaning care products but also for water treatment systems, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, sanitary products, and other fields; it shows its extensive application prospects.

Advantages of purified hyaluronic acid: Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) can also be used to purify hyaluronic acid, with the mucopolysaccharide molecules in the formation of polyanions complex, the complex in low concentration of salt solution precipitation, and gradually dissociate in a high concentration of salt solution. With this property, the purification of hyaluronic acid can be achieved. This purification method is easy to operate, but CPC is difficult to recover. The unit price is higher, so the application cost is higher.

FAQ

Q1

What are the main uses of cetylpyridinium chloride? 

Answer: Cetylpyridinium chloride is a nitrogen-containing cationic Surfactant used primarily as a disinfectant. It kills more heterotrophic, iron, and Sulfate-reducing bacteria than other commonly used quaternary ammonium salt fungicides. Therefore, it is widely used in sterilization and algae-killing, slime stripping, and system cleaning of industrial water treatment systems. In addition, it is also used in oral hygiene care supplies, medicine, cosmetics, personal care supplies, hygiene supplies, and other fields.

Q2

What are the advantages of cetylpyridinium chloride?

Answer: The advantages of cetylpyridinium chloride include good surface activity and sterilization, mild and non-irritating to skin and mucosa, and a wide range of applications. In addition, it can also be used to purify hyaluronic acid, a simple operation but high cost.

Q3

What should cetylpyridinium chloride pay attention to when configuring the solution? 

Answer: In the configuration of the Cetylpyridinium Chloride solution, we need to pay attention to the quality of accurate, uniform mixing as far as possible to avoid the problem of incomplete dissolution. If it does not dissolve, you can try to use temperature adjustment methods, add cosolvent, or change the concentration of methods to solve the problem.

Q4

What is the safety and stability of cetylpyridinium chloride? 

Answer: Cetylpyridinium chloride is considered a medium toxic substance, irritating, so use caution when safe. At the same time, it is flammable and incompatible with strong oxidants and strong alkalis, need to pay attention to storage and use conditions. In addition, in the use of the process also need to pay attention to avoid foaming, association, and interaction with other substances to ensure the stability of the product and the use of results.

Q5

Is cetylpyridinium chloride safe?

Answer: Cetylpyridinium chloride is safe in moderate doses, but overuse or improper use may cause irritating reactions. It is a medium toxic substance and should follow safe operating procedures to avoid prolonged contact with the skin and inhalation of its vapors.

Q6

How is cetylpyridine chloride stored and stabilized? 

Answer: Cetylpyridinium chloride should be stored in a dry, cool, ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures. Since it is flammable and incompatible with strong oxidizers and alkalis, contact with these substances should be avoided. In addition, avoid prolonged exposure to air or moisture to maintain stability.
