Quaternary Ammonium Compounds | Vibepedia

Quaternary ammonium compounds, also known as quats, are a class of chemical compounds characterized by their positively-charged polyatomic ions of the structure [NR4]+. Quats are generally gentler on surfaces than bleach-based disinfectants. The chemical structure of quats is characterized by their positively-charged polyatomic ions of the structure [NR4]+. Quats are being explored for use in biotechnology and nanotechnology.
