  • Applications

    Distearoylethyl dimonium chloride (CAS 67846-68-8) is a cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant widely used as a conditioning and softening agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It is employed as a fabric softener and textile finishing additive to impart softness and antistatic properties. In industrial coatings, inks and adhesives, it serves as a surfactant or emulsifier to improve wetting, compatibility and formulation stability, and can act as a rheology modifier in some systems. In polymer and plastics processing, it can function as a processing aid or end-use additive to enhance surface conditioning and compatibility with other components. It may also be used as a potential antimicrobial additive in formulations where permitted by local regulations and formulation limits.
