Definition |
ChEBI: The organic chloride salt of cetyltrimethylammonium. |
General Description |
Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride, also known as Cetrimonium chloride (CTAC), is a long-chain quaternary ammonium compound with properties of a surfactant and antiseptic. |
Uses |
Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is widely used in hair care products, including conditioners and shampoos, due to its excellent conditioning properties, where it is combined with fatty alcohols like stearyl alcohol. CTAC functions by reducing static, improving softness, and providing detangling effects. It also demonstrates antimicrobial and antifungal activity, making it valuable as a disinfectant and antiseptic in healthcare settings. Additionally, it is used in textiles as an antistatic agent and plasticizer. CTAC’s ability to disrupt cell membranes has been shown to be effective against microbial pathogens, including fungi like Candida species, while also being non-toxic to human cells at typical usage concentrations. |
Hazard |
A poison by ingestion and skin contact. |
Health Hazard |
Ingestion may produce toxic effects. Contact with eyes or skin may cause severe damage. |
Flammability and Explosibility |
Nonflammable |

In this study, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) was used as a novel leaching aid agent to improve the rare earth leaching process. The effects of CTAC and pH on the rare earth leaching behavior and permeability was investigated. The leaching kinetic model was established and the regulation mechanism by which CTAC interacts with clay mineral surfaces was revealed for rare earth leaching process enhanced by CTAC.
To this end, we report cetyltrimethylammonium chloride-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles conjugated with human serum albumin (CTAC@MSNs-HSA) as a mitochondrion-targeting agent for anticancer treatment. As the structure-directing agent in the synthesis of MSNs, CTAC is stored within MSNs.
