Cetrimide hydroxide（Cat No.:I024409）is a derivative of cetrimide, a quaternary ammonium compound with antimicrobial properties, commonly used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. It is primarily used in cleaning and sterilizing solutions for medical instruments, as well as in personal care products like shampoos and skin cleansers. The hydroxide form of cetrimide is a more basic version, with potential applications in various chemical reactions or formulations requiring a higher pH. Cetrimide hydroxide retains the antimicrobial activity of cetrimide and is effective in preventing bacterial growth, though it should be handled with care due to its caustic nature.
