Protective Gear: Use gloves and goggles to avoid skin/eye irritation.

Environmental Impact: Prevent water contamination due to toxicity to aquatic life.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers.

Used in mouthwashes, wound cleansers, and industrial sanitizers, DPC requires careful handling to balance efficacy and safety.

Application of Dodecylpyridinium Chloride (DPC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) with antiseptic, surfactant, and antimicrobial properties. Its chemical structure consists of a pyridinium ring (a nitrogen-containing aromatic ring) linked to a 12-carbon alkyl chain (dodecyl group), with a chloride counterion.
