| Physical and Chemical Properties | White waxy solid. Molecular weight 364.10. Soluble in water, ethanol. It dissociates into cationic active groups in water and has good emulsifying effect. It can emulsify mineral oil, animal and vegetable oil, synthetic oil, etc. in water, and is not affected by PH value. Excellent acid, alkali and heat resistance. Active substance> 60%, PH value (1% aqueous solution)<6.5. |
| Use | Cationic surfactants. It is mainly used as bactericide, softener, emulsifier and antistatic agent in cosmetics. When used in hair conditioner, it can be adsorbed on the hair surface to form a monomolecular film, which makes the hair fluffy, soft and gives the hair natural luster. At the same time, it can also inhibit the static electricity generated by the friction on the hair surface, making the hair easy to comb. |
