Description

Ethyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)[2-(Stearoylamino)Ethyl]Ammonium Ethyl Sulphate is a quaternary ammonium compound with a long-chain fatty amide group, functioning as a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. This unique structure provides excellent substantivity to surfaces, particularly hair and fibers, delivering softening, antistatic, and emulsifying properties. It is a key ingredient for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking high-performance cationic actives.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Primary conditioning agent providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Skin Care Creams & Lotions: Used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent to improve texture and feel.
• Textile Softeners: Imparts a soft, smooth hand feel to fabrics and provides antistatic benefits.
• Industrial Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Acts as a cationic emulsifier for various oil-in-water systems and as a surface modifier.
• Antistatic Agents: Effective in formulations for plastics, synthetic fibers, and electronics to reduce static charge.
• Dyeing & Pigment Auxiliaries: Used as a leveling agent or fixative in dyeing processes for textiles and leather.
