Description

(Z)-13-Docosenyl-N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-Methyl-Ammonium-Chloride is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound valued for its cationic surfactant properties and excellent emulsifying and conditioning effects. This specialty chemical is essential for formulating products that require substantive, long-lasting cationic activity and compatibility with various substrates. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial surfactant sectors for its reliable performance.

Application

• Hair Conditioners and Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners and Antistatic Agents: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling on textiles and fabrics.
• Industrial Emulsifiers and Dispersants: Used in the formulation of specialty emulsions for coatings, agrochemicals, and other industrial applications.
• Personal Care Cleansers: Serves as a mild surfactant and co-emulsifier in skin cleansers and shaving products.
• Organoclay Modifiers: Functions as a quaternary ammonium modifier for clay minerals to produce organoclays used as rheological additives.
• Biocide and Preservative Synergist: Enhances the efficacy of certain antimicrobial formulations due to its cationic nature.
