Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is a versatile quaternary ammonium salt derivative of oleic acid, valued for its unique combination of surface-active and conditioning properties. This compound is engineered to deliver excellent emulsification, softening, and antistatic effects in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries for its performance and compatibility.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a highly effective cationic surfactant and emollient, providing superior detangling, softness, and manageability.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft, smooth hand-feel to fabrics and fibers while offering antistatic benefits.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Serves as a multifunctional ingredient in creams and lotions, functioning as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Used in specialty formulations requiring cationic emulsification, lubrication, or corrosion inhibition.
• Antistatic Agents: Formulated into products for plastics, synthetic fibers, and electronics to dissipate static charge.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and performance consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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 may affect product quality.
