Hexadecyltrimethylammonium (p-toluenesulfonate)
Cationic Surfactant
Hexadecyltrimethylammonium (p-toluenesulfonate) is a cationic surfactant that plays a critical role in micellization processes. Due to its amphiphilic nature, it effectively reduces surface tension and enhances solubilization of hydrophobic compounds. This reagent is widely utilized in biochemical assays, drug delivery research, and studies involving surfactant behavior at interfaces.
