Description :

Overview of Dioctadecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride

Dioctadecyl Dimethyl Chloride (DODAC and DDAC) is a double-chain ammonium quaternary surfactant that is used to treat biocides for fabric softening, as well as in nanoparticles and liposome formulations. It is renowned for its outstanding antimicrobial property in membranes and its ability to make stable bilayers. DODAC is used extensively in the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs, as well as personal care and industrial applications, to combat microbes.

The compound is white or off-white, a clear solid or a powder. The dual octadecyl chain structure allows for self-assembly of bilayer membranes. This makes it useful in the development of advanced drug delivery systems.

Other related products include Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride CTAB and other ammonium quaternary surfactants that are used in delivery and antimicrobial applications.
