Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate

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

It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and biocidal active across industrial formulation systems. In home care and industrial cleaning formulations, it acts as the active biocidal component in hard surface disinfectants.

These sanitizers target a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Textile and leather processors use it as a softening and wetting agent during finishing operations, where its cationic character promotes substantivity to negatively charged fiber surfaces.

In agricultural formulations, it improves spray coverage and active ingredient uptake by reducing surface tension on leaf surfaces. Coatings and adhesive manufacturers incorporate it as a dispersing aid and antimicrobial additive.

This helps to extend product shelf life and prevent microbial degradation in water-based systems. Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate is typically supplied as a liquid concentrate, often in aqueous solution.

It is available at varying active content levels. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with specifications aligned to industrial and institutional cleaning applications.

Packaging commonly ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on volume requirements. This versatile chemical ensures high performance in diverse industrial environments and specialized manufacturing processes.
