Description

Diethylammonium Myristate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from myristic acid and diethylamine, functioning as an effective cationic surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antimicrobial properties, making it a versatile ingredient in specialized formulations. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, cosmetic, and industrial sectors where surface activity and compatibility with cationic systems are required.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a conditioning and antistatic agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Topical Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in ointments and medicated creams for its emulsifying and potential penetration-enhancing properties.
• Industrial Surfactant: Employed in specialty cleaning products, textile softeners, and as a corrosion inhibitor in certain formulations.
• Microbial Control: Utilized for its bacteriostatic properties in preservative systems for water-based products.
• Research & Development: Serves as a chemical intermediate or reference standard in synthetic organic chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our Diethylammonium Myristate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metals is provided and available upon request, supporting compliance for various industrial and cosmetic applications.

Storage

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