Description

Diethylmethyl[3-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound with a long-chain fatty amide group, making it a versatile cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. This structure is critical for providing excellent substantivity to surfaces, particularly those with a negative charge, such as hair, skin, and certain industrial materials. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and specialty chemical industries for its emulsifying, antistatic, and conditioning properties.

Application

• Hair Conditioners and Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability by adsorbing to the negatively charged hair surface.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams and lotions as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, improving texture and feel.
• Textile Softeners: Imparts a soft, smooth hand to fabrics and provides durable antistatic properties during finishing processes.
• Industrial Antistatic Agents: Applied in plastics, synthetic fibers, and coatings to reduce static charge buildup.
• Emulsion Stabilizer: Serves as a cationic emulsifier in various oil-in-water systems for specialty chemical applications.
• Biocide and Preservative Synergist: Can enhance the efficacy of other antimicrobial agents in disinfectant and preservative formulations due to its surface-active properties.

Quality Control

Our Diethylmethyl[3-[(1-Oxooctadecyl)Amino]Propyl]Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant cosmetic and industrial ingredient standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is available upon request for quality assurance and regulatory submissions.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
