Description

Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a high-purity, long-chain quaternary ammonium compound valued for its excellent conditioning and antistatic properties. This cationic surfactant is essential for formulators seeking to enhance softness, manageability, and performance in rinse-off and leave-on personal care products. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, hair care, and textile softening industries, where reliable quality and consistent performance are paramount.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Primary cationic agent for providing exceptional detangling, smoothness, and shine to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Antistatic Agents: Key component in liquid and dryer sheet formulations to impart softness and reduce static cling on textiles.
• Skin Care Emulsions: Used as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in lotions and creams to improve skin feel and product stability.
• Industrial Biocides & Sanitizers: Acts as an active ingredient in disinfectant formulations for its antimicrobial efficacy.
• Paper & Textile Sizing: Employed as a softener and processing aid to improve the handle and quality of fibers and paper products.
• Antistatic Coatings: Formulated into coatings for plastics and synthetic fibers to prevent dust accumulation and static discharge.

Quality Control

Our Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, amine content, and moisture are provided to guarantee consistent quality and supply reliability for your production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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.
