|  |  | Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Description | Didecyldimethylammonium chloride is a quaternary
ammonium compound used as detergent/disinfectant
in hospitals, as algicide in swimming pools, and as a
fungicide and against termites in wood. This
compound caused contact dermatitis in a hospital
employee, also sensitive to glyoxal and bis-(aminopropyl)-
laurylamine. |  | Chemical Properties | Liquid |  | Uses | Bardac(R) 22 is a quaternary ammonium based antimicrobial used as a bacteriostat, deodorant, disinfectant and(or) a microbiocide. |  | Uses | Uniquat(R) 2250 is an effective cationic surfactant that can be used in a variety of cleaning systems. |  | Uses | Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a compound that exhibits some fungacidal and antimirobial functions. |  | Uses | General purpose disinfectant, sanitizer; mildew preventative in commercial laundries; water treatment in cooling towers and oil field flood waters; wood preservative. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Didecyldimethylammonium chloride is an organic molecular entity. |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Flammable |  | Agricultural Uses | Biocide, Fungicide, Bactericide, Herbicide,
Algaecide, Algaecide, Bacteriocide, Fungistat,
Microbiocide, Microbiostat disinfectant, Viricide,
Tuberculocide, Molluscide, Insecticide: General purpose disinfectant used on hard, nonporous
surfaces as a sanitizer; mildew preventative, wood
preservative, and to kill algae, phytopathogenic fungi,
phytopathogenic bacteria. An active ingredient in a large
number of disinfectant products registered with USEPA
and labeled with a claim to inactivate “avian influenza A”
viruses on hard surfaces. |  | Trade name | ALIQUAT 203; BARDAC® 22; BARDAC®
2250, 2270, 2280 |  | Contact allergens | This quaternary ammonium compound is used as a 
detergent-disinfectant in hospitals, as an algaecide in 
swimming pools, as a fungicide, and against termites 
in wood. We observed severe contact dermatitis in a 
slaughterhouse worker using a liquid soap containing 
this product (personal observation). Immediate-type 
manifestations like urticaria and dyspnoea have been 
reported. |
