Benzododecinium bromide (systematic name dimethyldodecylbenzylammonium bromide) is a quaternary ammonium compound used as antiseptic and disinfectant (phenol coefficient is 20-30). It is well soluble in water and has properties of cationic surfactant.Benzododecinium bromide is effective against gram-positive microbes. In lower concentrations its activity against conditionally gram-negative microorganisms (such as Proteus Pseudomonas Clostridium tetani etc.) is uncertain.
