  • Applications

    Myristamidopropyl Dimethylamine (CAS 45267-19-4) is a cationic surfactant and conditioning agent primarily used in personal care formulations, such as shampoos and body cleansers, to improve wetting, detangling, and conditioning of hair and skin. It also finds use in household cleaners and surface-active formulations as a surfactant and emulsifier, supporting cleaning performance and formula stability. In textiles, it can serve as a fabric-softening additive contributing to a softer hand feel and reduced static. In coatings, inks, and polymer processing, it acts as a surface-active additive to modify wetting, dispersion, and formulation stability, and may be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other surfactants or specialty chemicals. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
