Description

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium, Salt With 1,2-Benzisothiazol-3(2H)-One 1,1-Dioxide (1:1) is a quaternary ammonium salt complex with saccharin, combining the properties of a cationic surfactant and a sweetener. This unique compound is engineered to deliver dual functionality, offering both surface-active and flavor-modifying characteristics in a single molecule. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, food processing, and specialty chemical industries for formulating products that require controlled release, enhanced stability, or specific sensory profiles.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a conditioning agent and mild preservative booster in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Utilized as a non-caloric sweetener and surfactant in specific dietary products and flavor delivery systems.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Serves as an excipient for taste masking of bitter APIs and as a component in controlled-release drug delivery matrices.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant and corrosion inhibitor in specialty cleaning and sanitizing formulations.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Used as an additive in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve adherence and spreading on plant surfaces.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softener, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary.

Quality Control

Our Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Saccharinate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality.
