  • Applications

    Ceteardimonium chloride is a cationic surfactant in the cetyl/stearyl family, commonly used as a conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations, particularly shampoos and conditioners, to impart softness and ease of combing. It is also used as an emulsifier and stabilizer for certain emulsions and creams. In the textile industry, it acts as a fabric-softening and antistatic additive during finishing. In household and industrial cleaning products, it functions as a surfactant to aid cleaning and the dispersion of solids. In the polymers and coatings/inks field, it can serve as an emulsifier and wetting agent to improve adhesion and coverage on surfaces.
