GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Quaternary ammonium compounds are any of a group of ammonium salts in which organic radicals have been substituted for all four hydrogens of the original ammonium cation. They has a central nitrogen atom which is joined to four organic radicals and one acid radical. The organic radicals  may be alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl, and the nitrogen can be part of a ring system. They are prepared by treatment of an amine with an alkylating agent. They show a variety of physical, chemical, and biological properties and most compounds are soluble in water and strong electrolytes. Such compounds include
  • Benzalkonium Chloride ( CAS RN: 8001-54-5)
  • Benzethonium Chloride CAS 121-54-0
  • Cetalkonium Chloride( CAS 122-18-9)
  • Cetrimide ( CAS 8044-71-1)
  • Cetrimonium Bromide ( CAS 57-09-0)
  • Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CAS 123-03-5)
  • Stearalkonium Chloride ( CAS 122-19-0)

They have properties of disrupting micro-organisms' cell processes and surfactants. These compounds are used as

  • Active Ingredient for Conditioners
  • Antistatic Agent
  • Detergent Sanitisers
  • Softner for textiles and paper products
  • Phase Transfer Catalyst
  • Antimicrobials
  • Disinfection Agents And Sanitizers
  • Slimicidal Agents
  • Algaecide
  • Emulsifying Agents
  • Pigment Dispersers

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISINFECTANT
Disinfectant is an agent applied to inanimate objects to destroy, neutralize, or inhibit the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms, (whereas antiseptics are applied primarily to living things). Heat and radiation are also disinfectants. Common ingredients of chemical disinfectant are:
  • Mercuric Chlorides
  • Formaldehyde
  • 8-Hydroxyquinoline
  • Copper Hydroxide
  • Cresol
  • Alcohols (Ethyl Alcohol; Isopropyl Alcohol)
  • Iodines / Iodophors
  • Chlorine releasing compounds
  • Gluteraldehyde
  • Phenolics
  • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
