  • Applications

    Caprylyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline (CAS 36060-61-4) is commonly used as a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care; it also serves as an emulsifier and wetting/dispersion additive in household and industrial cleaners; in coatings, inks and adhesives it functions as a wetting and dispersing aid to improve pigment dispersion and film formation; in polymer and plastics processing it can act as an emulsifier or processing aid for polymer latexes and dispersions; in broader industrial manufacturing it may be used as an intermediate or specialty additive in formulated chemistries.
