Didecyldimethylammonium chloride is an organic surfactant, which is a substance that reduces the surface tension between liquids or between a liquid and a solid. It's commonly used in detergents, cleaning products, and as a disinfectant. It also finds application in the textile industry, as a cationic fiber reactive dye mordant. The chemical structure of didecyl dimethylammonium chloride includes a long alkyl chain (decyl) attached to two methyl groups and a positively charged ammonium group, which carries a chloride ion.
Didecyldimethylammonium chloride has twin-chain mole…
