Description

n-(Coconut Oil Alkyl)Trimethylenediamine, Hydroxyacetate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from coconut oil fatty acids, valued for its cationic surfactant properties and excellent conditioning effects. This compound is essential for formulators seeking biodegradable, plant-derived ingredients with substantive action on various substrates. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, home care, and industrial sectors where softness, antistatic, and emulsifying performance are required.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Laundry Care: Imparts a soft, fluffy hand feel to textiles and reduces static cling in dryer sheets and liquid formulations.
• Skin Care Creams & Lotions: Functions as an emulsifier and emollient, enhancing skin feel and product stability.
• Industrial Surfactant: Used in textile processing, leather softening, and as an antistatic agent for synthetic fibers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be employed as a spreading and sticking agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Serves as a softener and debonding agent in tissue and towel production.
