Myristyltrimethylammonium bromide（Cat No.:R034080）is a quaternary ammonium compound composed of a myristyl (tetradecyl) alkyl chain attached to a trimethylammonium group, with bromide as the counterion. This surfactant appears as a white crystalline solid and is widely used for its antimicrobial, antistatic, and surface-active properties. It functions as a cationic surfactant in formulations for hair conditioners, textile softeners, and disinfectants, due to its ability to interact with negatively charged surfaces. Its long hydrophobic tail enhances lipid solubility, while the charged headgroup promotes interaction with water and biological membranes, supporting roles in emulsification and biocidal applications.
