Description

(2-Hydroxydodecyl)Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Toluene-p-Sulphonate is a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant with a unique structure combining a long hydrophobic chain with multiple hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, offering a balance of emulsification, conditioning, and antimicrobial efficacy. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking high-performance cationic ingredients.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Anti-static Agents: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling on textiles and fabrics.
• Cosmetic Emulsions & Creams: Functions as an emulsifier and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and other leave-on personal care products.
• Industrial Surfactant & Emulsifier: Used in specialty formulations requiring cationic emulsification, dispersion, or surface modification.
• Antimicrobial Formulations: Leverages its quaternary ammonium structure for potential use in disinfectant and sanitizer products where compatible.
• Paper & Textile Softening: Employed as a softener and processing aid in paper manufacturing and textile finishing.
