QUAT QAC DDAC

Supplier: NOURYON / AkzoNobel
Functionality: 13.biocide
Product Introduction ：

• Nouryon is one of the leading producers of biocides based on fatty amines and derivatives. A number of these active substances, especially quaternary ammonium compounds and dodecyldipropylene triamine, are widely used in formulations for control of bacteria, fungi, viruses and algae in disinfection or preservation applications.

Quaternary ammonium compounds, commonly named Quats or QAC, have a permanent positive charge at the nitrogen atom and contain one or more alkyl chains. Our trade name for the QACs is Arquad. 

There are 3 types of biocidal Quats:

• BKC = C12-16-alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (CAS number 68424-85-1)

• DDAC = didecyldimethylammonium chloride (CAS 7173-51-5)

• TMAC = Cocoalkyltrimethylammonium chloride (CAS number 61789-18-2)

Dodecyldipropylene triamine (CAS number 2372-82-9) does not have an ionic charge like the QACs. Depending on the pH value there can be a partial positive charge at the nitrogen atoms of the amine groups. Our trade name for the dodecyldipropylene triamine is Triameen Y12D. 

Our active substances are : 

• Highly effective biocides
• Free of halogens and aldehydes
• Free of sensitizers
• On the French Positive List
• Effective versus Coronavirus

Our product supported according to European BPR
