Description

Ethanol, 2,2'-Iminobis-, n-Tallow Alkyl Derivs., Acetates (Salts) is a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant derived from tallow fatty acids and diethanolamine. This compound is valued for its excellent cationic properties, providing superior emulsification, antistatic, and softening effects in various formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile cationic surfactants.

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 & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners and disinfectants where cationic activity is required for efficacy.
• Personal Care Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and other leave-on products.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed as a softening and antistatic agent in fiber and fabric processing.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be used as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion.
