Description

(Z)-1-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-Ethyl-2-(8-Heptadecyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1H-Imidazolium Ethyl Sulphate is a high-purity, cationic imidazolinium salt surfactant with a long alkyl chain, offering unique surface-active and conditioning properties. This compound is valued for its ability to impart softness, antistatic effects, and emulsification in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries for its performance as a fabric softener base, hair conditioner agent, and emulsifier.

Application

• Fabric Softeners & Conditioners: A key cationic surfactant base for household and industrial fabric softeners, providing excellent softening, antistatic, and fragrance-carrying properties.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in conditioners, masks, and leave-in treatments to deliver superior detangling, smoothness, and manageability to hair.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Functions as a softening and lubricating agent in yarn manufacturing and fabric finishing processes.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Acts as a cationic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems in polishes, coatings, and agrochemical formulations.
• Antistatic Agents: Incorporated into synthetic fiber processing and plastics to reduce static charge buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Utilized in certain industrial fluid formulations where cationic surfactants provide protective filming properties.
