Description

Peg-2 Stearmonium Chloride is a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent derived from stearic acid and ethylene oxide. This compound is valued for its ability to impart excellent softness, antistatic properties, and manageability to various substrates. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and textile industries for formulating high-performance rinse-off and leave-on products.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinses: As a primary cationic surfactant to provide superior detangling, smoothness, and shine to hair fibers.
• Skin Creams & Lotions: Used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent to enhance product feel and moisturization.
• Fabric Softeners: Imparts a soft, fluffy hand feel to textiles and reduces static cling in laundry care formulations.
• Industrial Surfactant: Acts as an emulsifier, dispersant, or antistatic agent in various industrial processes and specialty chemical applications.

Quality Control

Our Peg-2 Stearmonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is available for every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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