Specifications(COA) of Octyltrimethylammonium Chloride CAS 10108-86-8 Cosmetic and Industrial Grade Surfactant

Octyltrimethylammonium chloride (OTAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it useful in various industrial, chemical, and biological applications. Here are its key applications:

1. Disinfectant Antimicrobial Agent

- Used in sanitizers, surface cleaners, and medical disinfectants** due to its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes.

- Effective against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.

2. Surfactant & Emulsifier

- Acts as a cationic surfactant in detergents, fabric softeners, and hair conditioners.

- Helps in stabilizing emulsions in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.

3. Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC)

- Facilitates reactions between immiscible phases (organic/water) in organic synthesis, such as:

- Alkylation reactions

- Esterification

- Polymerization processes

4. Corrosion Inhibitor

- Used in oilfield chemicals and industrial water treatment to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.

5. Nanomaterial Synthesis

- Serves as a structure-directing agent for the preparation of:

- Mesoporous silica (e.g., MCM-41)

- Metal nanoparticles

- Zeolites and other nanostructured materials

6. Textile & Fabric Treatment

- Acts as a softening and antistatic agent in textiles.

- Improves dye fixation in some fabric treatments.

7. Laboratory & Biochemical Research

- Used in DNA/RNA extraction protocols as a lysing agent.

- Helps in protein solubilization and membrane studies.

8. Agriculture

- Some formulations include OTAC as a pesticide or fungicide adjuvant to enhance effectiveness.

Safety & Handling

- Toxic if ingested or inhaled**—requires proper protective equipment (gloves, goggles).

- Incompatible with anionic surfactants (forms precipitates).

- Should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizers.

Conclusion

OTAC is a versatile chemical with uses ranging from disinfection and surfactants to nanotechnology and industrial catalysis. Its cationic nature makes it particularly valuable in formulations requiring antimicrobial action or phase-transfer properties.
