Description

(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ammonium Myristate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from myristic acid, functioning as a versatile cationic surfactant and emulsifier. Its structure provides excellent surface activity and compatibility, making it a valuable intermediate and functional additive in specialized formulations. This compound is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial sectors seeking mild, substantive conditioning agents and emulsification systems.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a substantive conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, providing detangling and softness benefits.
• Skin Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier and softener in creams, lotions, and makeup products for improved texture and skin feel.
• Topical Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in ointments, creams, and medicated gels, aiding in drug delivery and formulation stability.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Functions as a cationic emulsifier for waxes, polishes, and textile finishing agents.
• Antistatic Agent: Imparts antistatic properties to synthetic fibers and plastics during processing.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Used in specialty formulations for metalworking fluids and protective coatings.

Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxypropyl)Ammonium Myristate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. While we offer standard commercial and cosmetic grades, production can be aligned with relevant GMP or ISO 9001 standards for critical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
