quaternium-24

Quaternium-24 is a synthetic organic compound classified as a quaternary ammonium salt. Its chemical structure is based on an alkyl-substituted ammonium cation paired with a chloride anion. Quaternium-24 acts primarily as an antimicrobial agent and surfactant. It is widely used as a disinfectant, sanitizer, and fungicide in cleaning solutions and pre-moistened wipes for hard surfaces. In addition to its use in industrial and household cleaning products, it also serves as an antistatic agent and surfactant in cosmetics and some pharmaceutical formulations. The mechanism of action involves disruption of microbial cell membranes due to its cationic surfactant properties[1][2][5][7].
