CARBOQUAT H

CARBOQUAT H
Carboquat H is Didecyl dimethyl ammonium carbonate / Didecyl dimethyl ammonium
bicarbonate. This advanced quaternary ammonium compound is a technologically
differentiated, research developed manufacturing use product. It’s intended use is as an
active ingredient raw material for antimicrobial formulations such as disinfectants and
sanitizers used on hard, nonporous surfaces. Carboquat® H is freely soluble; exhibits
broad spectrum micro efficacy in the presence of organic soil; is non-corrosive to most
metals and will protect many metal surfaces from corrosion; has typical foaming
characteristics; is compatible with typical nonionic surfactants, many dyes and
fragrances.
