Description

Heneicosanamide, n-[2-(2-Heneicosyl-4,5-Dihydro-1H-Imidazol-1-Yl)Ethyl]-, Epichlorohydrin-Quaternized is a specialized cationic surfactant and conditioning agent, distinguished by its quaternized imidazoline structure and long C21 alkyl chain. This compound is engineered to deliver superior substantivity, antistatic properties, and softness in formulations, making it a high-performance ingredient for demanding industrial and personal care applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the hair care, textile softening, and fabric care sectors seeking advanced cationic functionality and reliable supply from a global chemical partner.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinses: Provides excellent detangling, softness, and manageability due to its strong affinity for keratin.
• Textile Softening Agents: Imparts a durable, soft hand feel to fabrics and reduces static cling in dryer sheets and liquid softeners.
• Industrial Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Serves as a cationic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems and in specialty cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care Cleansers: Used in cream rinses and 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner products for its conditioning benefits.
• Antistatic Agents: Effective in applications for plastics, synthetic fibers, and electronics manufacturing to dissipate static charge.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Can be formulated into corrosion inhibitor packages for industrial water systems or metalworking fluids.
