Description

Dimethyl[2-(Stearoyloxy)Ethyl]Ammonium Formate is a quaternary ammonium salt with a long-chain fatty acid ester, combining cationic and lipophilic properties in a single molecule. This unique structure makes it a highly effective and versatile cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. It is essential for formulators seeking to create products with superior softness, antistatic properties, and emulsification capabilities. Key industries that utilize this compound include personal care, textile manufacturing, and industrial fabric softeners.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Acts as a primary cationic conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, smoothness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Laundry Care: Imparts a soft hand feel, reduces static cling, and improves fabric wearability in both household and industrial textile processing.
• Skin Care Emulsions & Creams: Serves as an emulsifier and emollient, enhancing the texture and skin-feel of lotions and creams.
• Industrial Surfactant & Emulsifier: Used in specialty formulations requiring cationic surface activity, such as in asphalt emulsification or corrosion inhibitors.
• Antistatic Agent for Plastics & Textiles: Applied as a topical treatment or internal additive to dissipate static electricity.

Quality Control

Our Dimethyl[2-(Stearoyloxy)Ethyl]Ammonium Formate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, amine value, and moisture content 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, 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 quality.
