Many of the products on the N list use quaternary ammonium compounds as
their active ingredients. Although not specifically found on the N list,
Dow Corning 5700 (27668-52-6) is a silane coupled quaternary ammonium
compound that is used in a number of products to provide lasting
antimicrobial protection. One such product is "The Tile Doctor Shield",
for use on hard surfaces. The agent has also been found to bind to
cotton-polyester fabric so as to resist repeated washings.
