Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Coco Alkyltrimethyl, Chlorides are a versatile class of cationic surfactants derived from coconut oil fatty acids. These compounds are valued for their potent antimicrobial, antistatic, and conditioning properties, making them essential for formulators requiring reliable performance. Key industries that utilize this material include personal care, industrial cleaning, water treatment, and textile manufacturing.

Application

• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: As a primary active ingredient in hospital-grade disinfectants, household cleaners, and food surface sanitizers.
• Hair & Skin Care Products: Acts as a conditioning agent and antistatic in shampoos, conditioners, and liquid soaps.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in hard surface cleaners, laundry rinse aids, and fabric softeners for its surfactant and antimicrobial action.
• Water Treatment: Functions as a biocide and algicide in cooling towers, swimming pools, and industrial water systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, antistatic agent, and dyeing auxiliary.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a clay stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, and biocide in drilling and production fluids.

Quality Control

Our Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Coco Alkyltrimethyl, Chlorides are manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent purity, active matter content, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, pH, and color are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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