Description

(Z)-Octadec-9-Enylammonium Palmitate is a quaternary ammonium salt-based compound formed from oleylamine and palmitic acid. This specialized salt is valued for its surfactant and cationic properties, making it a functional ingredient in formulations requiring emulsification, conditioning, or antimicrobial activity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking stable, high-performance cationic agents.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair by neutralizing static charge.
• Skin Care Creams & Lotions: Functions as an emulsifier and emollient, helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and impart a smooth, luxurious feel to the skin.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softening agent for textiles, providing a soft hand feel and antistatic properties to fabrics.
• Industrial Emulsifiers & Dispersants: Serves as a cationic emulsifier for waxes, oils, and polymers in various industrial applications, including polishes and coatings.
• Antistatic Agents: Incorporated into formulations for plastics and synthetic fibers to reduce static electricity buildup.
• Microbiocide & Preservative Booster: Its cationic nature can enhance the efficacy of preservative systems in certain cosmetic and industrial water-based products.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-Octadec-9-Enylammonium Palmitate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, melting point, and residual solvents is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
