Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)[2-(Octadec-9-Enoyloxy)Ethyl]Ammonium Acetate is a quaternary ammonium compound with a unique oleic acid-derived hydrophobic chain, functioning as a versatile cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. Its molecular structure provides excellent emulsifying, antistatic, and softening properties, making it a valuable ingredient for formulators seeking multifunctional performance. This compound is primarily utilized in the personal care, textile, and specialty chemical industries to enhance product feel, manageability, and process efficiency.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair by reducing static and improving combability.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft, smooth hand-feel to fabrics, reduces fiber friction, and provides antistatic benefits during textile processing and in consumer laundry products.
• Skin Care Emulsions & Creams: Serves as an emulsifier and conditioning agent, improving the stability and sensory profile of lotions and creams by delivering a smooth, non-greasy afterfeel.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for floor finishes, car wash solutions, and hard surface cleaners for its emulsifying, antistatic, and surface-modifying properties.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be employed as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Paper & Pulp Chemicals: Functions as a softener and debonding agent in tissue paper manufacturing and as a retention aid in papermaking processes.
