Description

Sodium 1-(Carboxymethyl)-2-Heptadecyl-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Chloride is a high-purity, amphoteric imidazolinium-based surfactant and conditioning agent. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, antistatic, and softening properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring superior surface activity and compatibility. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries for its multifunctional performance and mildness.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a highly effective cationic conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft, smooth hand-feel to fabrics and provides antistatic benefits during textile manufacturing and finishing.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams and lotions for its emulsifying properties and ability to improve skin feel without irritation.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Serves as a key ingredient in specialty surfactant systems for its stability and compatibility with anionic and nonionic agents.
• Antistatic Agents: Formulated into products for plastics and synthetic fibers to reduce static charge accumulation.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Utilized in certain industrial fluid formulations for its film-forming and surface-active characteristics.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
