Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)[2-(Stearoyloxy)Ethyl]Ammonium Formate is a quaternary ammonium salt with a fatty acid ester moiety, combining cationic and lipophilic properties. This unique structure makes it a highly effective cationic surfactant and conditioning agent, valued for its substantive and softening effects. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, industrial fabric softeners, and specialty chemical applications where surface modification and antistatic properties are required.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Acts as a substantive conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, smoothness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Laundry Care: Imparts softness, reduces static cling, and improves fabric handle in both household and industrial textile processing.
• Skin Care & Creams: Functions as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, enhancing the texture and feel of lotions and creams.
• Antistatic Agents: Used in formulations for plastics, textiles, and electronics to dissipate static charge effectively.
• Industrial Surfactants: Serves as a cationic emulsifier or dispersant in various chemical synthesis and processing applications.
• Specialty Cleaning Formulations: Incorporated into products where a combination of cleaning and surface conditioning is desired.

Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxyethyl)[2-(Stearoyloxy)Ethyl]Ammonium Formate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and appearance are 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
