Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride (DTAC) CAS 7173-62-8

Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride (DTAC), also referred to in some markets as DAO V, is supplied as a cationic surfactant designed for use in industrial formulations requiring surface activity, emulsification, and antistatic or conditioning performance. As a quaternary ammonium compound, it is compatible with a range of formulation systems where cationic functionality is required.

It is commonly applied in textile auxiliaries, coatings, and specialty chemical formulations, where it contributes to dispersion, wetting, and surface modification. In commercial supply, DTAC is typically delivered as an aqueous solution with defined active content, suitable for direct incorporation into formulations. Standard industrial packaging and documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support procurement.
