Didecyldimethylammonium chloride(DDAC) is thequaternary ammonium saltwith the formula(CH3)2N(C10H21)2Cl. The cation(CH3)2N(C10H21)+2and chloride comprise this salt, which is a colorless solid.
DDAC is anantiseptic/disinfectant. Like related quat salts, it disrupts lipid bilayers. The bacteriostatic (prevent growth) or bactericidal (kill microorganism) activity of DDAC depends on its concentration and the growth phase of the microbial population.It is a broad spectrumbiocidalagainst bacteria and fungi and can be used as disinfectant cleaner for linen, recommended for use in hospitals, hotels and industries. It is also used ingynaecology, surgery,ophthalmology, pediatrics, OT, and for thesterilizationof surgical instruments,endoscopesand surface disinfection.
