  • Applications

    Hydroxyethyl laurdimonium chloride (CAS 2271-92-3) is a cationic surfactant commonly used as a conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products (for example, shampoos, conditioners, and cleansing formulations). It is also employed in household products such as laundry detergents and fabric softeners to improve fabric feel and reduce static. With emulsifying and dispersing properties, it is often added as an additive in cosmetic formulations and in polymer, coatings, and ink systems to enhance wetting, dispersion, and compatibility. It may serve as a finishing or surface-treatment additive in textile finishing and coatings to increase softness and surface feel. Use is formulation- and region-dependent and subject to local regulations and limits.
