  • Applications

    Hydroxystearamidopropyl trimonium chloride (CAS 127312-01-0) is a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent used primarily in cosmetics and personal care. In hair and skin care formulations it functions as a conditioning/softening agent, providing slip and detangling properties. It also acts as a mild surfactant and emulsifier, enabling stable emulsions and better dispersion of actives. It is used in household products such as fabric softeners and liquid cleaners as an anti-static/conditioning additive. In industrial manufacturing it serves as a surfactant or processing aid to improve wetting, emulsification, and polymer compatibility in coatings, inks, or lubricant formulations. In polymer/plastics applications it can act as a cationic surface-active additive to improve compatibility of hydrophobic components and impart conditioning-like surface properties.
