Description

Octadecanoic Acid, 12-Hydroxy-, Homopolymer, Reaction Products With N,n-Dimethyl-1,3-Propanediamine, Di-Me Sulfate-Quaternized is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from a polymerized hydroxy fatty acid, offering unique cationic and surface-active properties. This specialized chemical is engineered to provide superior conditioning, emulsification, and antistatic performance in demanding formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking advanced functional additives.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Primary cationic agent providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft hand feel, reduces static cling, and improves fiber lubrication during processing.
• Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and other leave-on products.
• Industrial Surfactants: Used in specialty cleaning formulations, corrosion inhibitors, and as a dispersing agent.
• Antistatic Agents: Applied in plastics, synthetic fibers, and coatings to dissipate static electricity.
• Paper & Pulp Chemicals: Functions as a softener and debonding agent in tissue and towel production.
