It is an organic amine salt, divided into high-foam type and low-foam type, with the properties of ionic compounds, extremely soluble in water but insoluble in non-polar solvents. Its molecule has both a hydrophobic alkyl group and a hydrophilic quaternary ammonium ion, so it is a cationic surfactant that can reduce the surface tension of the solution. Due to its bactericidal performance and surface activity, it is not only a good bactericide and algicide in water treatment technology but also a good slime stripping agent and corrosion inhibitor. It can also be used as a hygiene and disinfection agent in household and industrial cleaners.
