Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Myristate is an organic salt formed from diethanolamine and myristic acid, functioning as a versatile cationic surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is valued for its excellent conditioning, emulsifying, and antistatic properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and substantive action. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors for creating high-performance products.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinses: Acts as a substantive conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Skin Care Creams & Lotions: Serves as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, contributing to a rich, non-greasy feel.
• Fabric Softeners: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling in textile treatment formulations.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Used in the preparation of emulsions for polishes, coatings, and agricultural formulations.
• Antistatic Agents: Applied in plastics and synthetic fiber processing to reduce static electricity buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Functions as a component in lubricants and metalworking fluids to protect metal surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Myristate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
