Description

Alkenyl(C16-C18) Dimethyl Amine Acetate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from tallow alkyl dimethylamine, valued for its cationic surfactant properties and efficacy as a fabric softener and antistatic agent. This compound is essential for formulators seeking to impart a soft hand feel, reduce static cling, and improve the manageability of textiles and hair care products. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and textile processing industries, where consistent quality and reliable performance are paramount.

Application

• Primary active ingredient in commercial and domestic fabric softeners and conditioners.
• Key component in hair conditioners and cream rinses to provide detangling and smoothness.
• Used as an antistatic agent in synthetic fiber processing and for plastics.
• Acts as an emulsifier and dispersant in various industrial and agricultural formulations.
• Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and additive in lubricants and fuel systems.
• Utilized in the synthesis of other specialty quaternary ammonium compounds (quats).
