Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate

Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate (CAS 94667-33-1) is a quaternary ammonium surfactant combining cationic charge with ethoxylated chain architecture, delivering antimicrobial activity and surface-active performance.

Where is Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning: biocidal active in hard surface disinfectants targeting bacteria and fungi
• Textile and leather finishing: softening and wetting agent, cationic character promoting substantivity to negatively charged fiber surfaces
• Agricultural formulations: improves spray coverage and active ingredient uptake by reducing surface tension on leaf surfaces
• Coatings and adhesives: dispersing aid and antimicrobial additive that extends shelf life and prevents microbial degradation in water-based systems
• It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and biocidal active in industrial formulation systems.

Commercial specifications

• Varying active content levels
• Packaging from drums to IBC containers depending on volume
