  • Applications

    Dipalmitoylethyl dimonium chloride (CAS 97158-31-1) is primarily used as a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations, delivering slip and deposition on hair and skin in products such as shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, and body creams. It is also employed as an emulsifier and stabilizer in household cleaners and detergents to improve the performance and deposition of active ingredients. In textile care, it serves as a fabric-softening additive with conditioning and antistatic properties. In coatings and inks, it can function as a cationic surfactant that aids pigment wetting, dispersion and film formation. In polymer and plastics processing, it may act as an additive to stabilize dispersions and modify surface properties of finishes and coatings. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
