Description

Benzyldimethyloleylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) valued for its potent cationic surfactant properties and excellent compatibility with various formulations. This compound is essential for delivering antimicrobial efficacy, surface modification, and conditioning effects across diverse industrial and consumer applications. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and industrial biocides sectors for its reliable performance and oleyl chain-derived benefits.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft, smooth hand-feel to fabrics and provides antistatic properties.
• Industrial & Institutional Disinfectants: Serves as a key active ingredient in hard surface cleaners and sanitizers for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
• Personal Care Cleansers: Used in combination with other surfactants in shampoos and body washes for its conditioning and mildness benefits.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and biocidal agent in drilling and production fluids.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a softener, debonding agent, and for pitch control.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Benzyldimethyloleylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your formulation requirements.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
