Description

Peg-5 Stearyl Ammonium Chloride is a cationic surfactant belonging to the quaternary ammonium compound family, distinguished by its polyoxyethylene (PEG) chain. This molecular structure provides excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antistatic properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is particularly valuable in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors where substantive cationic activity and compatibility with anionic systems are required.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a highly effective conditioner and detangler in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, providing excellent slip and softness.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft hand feel to fabrics and provides durable antistatic properties in rinse-cycle softeners and textile finishing agents.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as an emulsifier and softening agent in acidic or neutral hard surface cleaners, floor polishes, and car wash solutions.
• Personal Cleansing Products: Used in cream soaps, shower gels, and syndet bars for its mildness and skin-conditioning benefits.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant and compatibility agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in drilling muds and production chemicals.
