Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium 3-[2-(2-Heptadecyl-4,5-Dihydro-1H-Imidazol-1-Yl)Ethoxy]Propionate is a high-purity, quaternary ammonium-based compound that functions as a versatile cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. Its molecular structure provides excellent substantivity to negatively charged surfaces, making it a key ingredient for enhancing softness, antistatic properties, and manageability. This product is essential for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability. We ensure consistent quality and technical support for global B2B partners.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Provides excellent detangling, smoothness, and antistatic effects due to its strong affinity for keratin.
• Fabric Softeners & Laundry Care: Imparts a soft hand feel, reduces static cling, and improves fabric wearability in both liquid and dryer sheet formulations.
• Skin Care & Creams: Acts as an emulsifier and conditioning agent, enhancing the sensory profile and skin feel of lotions and creams.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used as a cationic surfactant in disinfectant cleaners, car wash formulas, and hard surface cleaners for its cleaning and surface-modifying properties.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Serves as a softening and antistatic agent in yarn lubricants and fabric finishing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be utilized as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
