China and the United States are the leading exporters of Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CAS 112-00-5), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. Import volumes in the European Union and Southeast Asia have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride prices amid tightening supply chains and increased demand from biocides and fabric softener manufacturing.
Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically supplied as a hygroscopic powder or flake with a faint amine-like odor; it is non-volatile and has a melting point of approximately 235–240 °C (with decomposition). It is a quaternary ammonium salt and belongs to the class of cationic surfactants. Primarily used as a phase-transfer catalyst and surface-active agent, it serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fabric softeners, antistatic agents, and antimicrobial formulations. Its main application areas include personal care products, industrial disinfectants, textile auxiliaries, and as a modifier in clay-based nanocomposites and polymer processing.
Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride belongs to quaternary ammonium salts,it is useful as paint strippers, foaming stabilizers, and bactericidal lotions.
