Description:Cetrimide is used for ion pair chromatography, anionic detergents, deodorants, catalysts, emulsifiers, disinfectants, fungicides, antistatic agents and experimental applications.
Cetrimide is an emulsifier for natural, synthetic rubber, silicone oil and asphalt; Antistatic agent and softener for synthetic fiber, natural fiber and glass fiber; Conditioner for hair conditioner; Phase transfer catalyst; Emulsion foaming agent, surfactant, analytical reagent, it is also used in flux, solder paste production plays a role of surfactant, strong activity, on the bright spot, virtual welding, welding full have a certain role.
Cetrimide into eye drops after, due to the effects of the collision blink of an eye, make show the thixotropic gels, followed by hydrolysis of intraocular electrolyte and the influence of temperature, the moisture in the gels can release a large number of equilibrium, rapid dispersion in the ocular surface, can at the same time instead of 2 - (liquid water layer and mucins), prolong in ocular surface adhesion, more close to natural tears than other similar products. Cetrimide is mainly used for dry eyes caused by various causes, as an auxiliary treatment for corneal epithelial injury caused by various causes, and as a lubricant for eye examination.
