  • Applications

    Dibehenyldimethylammonium chloride (CAS 26597-36-4) is a quaternary ammonium salt with two behenyl substituents, functioning as a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. In practice, it is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as a hair conditioning agent; in household and cleaning products as a fabric softener and surfactant; in industrial manufacturing as an emulsifier and stabilizer for polymer formulations; in coatings and inks as a wetting and dispersion aid; and in plastics and polymers as a surface-modifying or antistatic additive.
