  • Applications

    Behenamidopropyl propylene glycol-dimonium chloride (CAS 136920-10-0) is a cationic surfactant used as a conditioning and emollient agent in cosmetics and personal care (examples: shampoos, conditioners, body washes) to improve combability and texture. It also functions as a surfactant and emulsifier in household cleaning products and detergents. In textile processing and fabric finishing, it serves as a fabric conditioning agent and antistatic additive. In coatings, inks, and polymer formulations, it acts as a surface-active additive to improve wetting, emulsification, and compatibility. In plastics and polymer processing, it can be used as a processing aid or dispersant to stabilize emulsions and improve pigment dispersion. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
