Description

Benzyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyl[3-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) with a long-chain fatty amido group, offering a unique combination of cationic activity and hydrophobic character. This structure is engineered to provide superior conditioning, emulsification, and antimicrobial properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical specialty surfactant for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial sectors seeking enhanced performance and stability.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability by neutralizing static charge on hair fibers.
• Fabric Softeners & Laundry Care: Imparts a soft, fluffy hand feel to textiles and reduces static cling in dryer sheets and liquid softeners.
• Skin Care & Cosmetic Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup, improving skin feel and product spreadability.
• Industrial Biocides & Sanitizers: Utilized for its antimicrobial efficacy in formulations for hard surface disinfectants, swimming pool algaecides, and industrial process preservatives.
• Antistatic Agents: Applied in plastics, textiles, and electronics manufacturing to dissipate static electricity.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used as a corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in drilling muds and production chemicals due to its film-forming properties.

Quality Control

Our production of Benzyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methyl[3-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride adheres to strict quality management protocols. Every batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, amine value, and moisture content are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
