Description

Arquad 2Ht-75 is a quaternary ammonium compound, specifically a dihydrogenated tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride. This cationic surfactant is valued for its excellent emulsifying, antistatic, and softening properties, making it a versatile ingredient in demanding industrial formulations. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and agrochemical industries for its reliable performance and compatibility.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners: Imparts a soft, fluffy hand feel to textiles and reduces static cling in laundry care products.
• Industrial Emulsifier: Used in the formulation of asphalt emulsions, agrochemicals, and other oil-in-water systems requiring cationic stabilization.
• Antistatic Agent: Applied in plastics, synthetic fibers, and coatings to dissipate static electricity.
• Biocide & Sanitizer Intermediate: Serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium-based disinfectants and sanitizing products.
• Paper & Textile Softening: Used as a softener and debonding agent in paper manufacturing and textile finishing processes.
