Chemical Name: Dimethyldioctadecylammonium Bromide
Synonyms: Distearyldimethylammonium Bromide; DDAB; DODAB
CAS No.: 3700-67-2
Molecular Formula: C38H80BrN
Molecular Weight: 630.95
Appearance: Powder
Parameter | Dimethyldioctadecylammonium Bromide | Cetrimonium Bromide | Benzalkonium Chloride |
---|---|---|---|
CAS Number | 3700-67-2 | 57-09-0 | 63449-41-2 |
Molecular Formula | C38H80BrN | C19H42BrN | C21H38ClN |
Chain Length | C18 x2 | C16 | C12-C14 |
Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) | 0.03 mM | 0.92 mM | 1.2 mM |
Key advantages: Superior thermal stability (up to 250°C), low CMC for sustained surfactant action, and dual C18 chains enhancing fabric adhesion.
Reduces fiber friction by 40-60% through cationic adsorption on negatively charged surfaces. Compatible with silicone-based softeners for synergistic effects.
Enables 85-93% yield improvements in nucleophilic substitutions by shuttling anions between aqueous and organic phases. Particularly effective in Williamson ether synthesis.
Reduces surface resistivity of plastics from 1015 to 108 Ω/sq at 0.5-1.2% loading in polyolefins. FDA-compliant for food packaging applications.
Optimal dissolution in 60-70°C ethanol (5% w/v). For aqueous systems, pre-mix with 2-butoxyethanol (1:3 ratio) before water addition.
Challenge: 23% production loss from fiber breakage in high-speed weaving
Solution: 0.8% emulsion in finishing bath
Result: 18% higher loom efficiency, 31% reduction in energy consumption
Challenge: Inconsistent API crystallization (65-72% purity)
Solution: 0.05 mol% catalyst in dichloromethane/water system
Result: 89% purity with polymorph control, 22% faster reaction kinetics
Challenge: ESD damage in medical device housings
Solution: 1.2% masterbatch in PP
Result: Sustained <109 Ω/sq resistivity through 500 autoclave cycles
