Description

Amines, Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl, Ethoxylated, Acetates (Salts) are a class of quaternary ammonium compounds derived from natural, hydrogenated tallow fatty acids, modified with ethylene oxide and subsequently converted to acetate salts. This chemical structure provides excellent surfactant properties, making it a highly effective cationic softener, emulsifier, and antistatic agent. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the textile, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance fabric softness, improve formulation stability, and impart conditioning benefits. The compound is supplied under CAS No. 68201-30-9.

Application

• Textile Softening & Finishing: Primary application as a highly effective cationic fabric softener, providing a smooth, luxurious hand feel and superior antistatic properties to natural and synthetic fibers.
• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Key conditioning agent in personal care formulations, where it deposits onto hair to improve manageability, reduce static, and enhance shine.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used as an emulsifier and softening agent in laundry detergents, rinse aids, and fabric care products for commercial and industrial laundry operations.
• Paper & Tissue Softening: Imparts softness and bulk to paper products such as facial tissues, napkins, and towels.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant and deposition aid in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spray coverage and adherence to plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring and softening agent in leather treatment to produce supple, high-quality leather goods.
