'''Dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride''', or distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, is a [[quaternary ammonium salt]] consisting of a nitrogen atom substituted with two [[methyl]] groups and two [[octadecane|octadecyl]] groups. The long-chain hydrocarbon groups combined with the ionic nature of the amine group enables it to act as a [[surfactant]] or a [[detergent]].
'''Dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride''' (also commonly '''distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride''' or '''distearyldimonium chloride''') is an organic compound classified as [[quaternary ammonium salt]]. The [[nitrogen]] center substituted with two [[methyl]] groups and two [[octadecane|stearyl]] groups. The combination of long-chain hydrocarbon groups and the cationic ammonium confers [[surfactant]]- or a [[detergent]]-like properties. For professional use only, it can be found in many wares-and-equipment sanitizers as well as cleaner/sanitizer combinations that are standard in the foodservice industry – it was once a major component of [[fabric softener]]s, but has been largely phased out because of its low [[biodegradation|biodegradability]].<ref>E. Smulders, E. Sung "Laundry Detergents, 2. Ingredients and Products" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2012. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.o15_013}}</ref> In household products, it may also be found as an ingredient in cosmetics and hair conditioners in which it is added primarily for its [[antistatic]] effects.<ref>{{CPID|id=1000|name=Distearyldimonium chloride}}</ref> It is also used in [[organic synthesis]] as a [[phase transfer catalyst]] to increase reaction rates in a two-phase organic-water system.
