  • Applications

    Qaternium-30, CAS 50978-31-9, is a quaternary ammonium surfactant primarily used as a conditioning agent and surface-active additive in cosmetics and personal care. It is also employed in household cleaning and laundry products as a cationic surfactant and wetting agent. In industrial manufacturing it serves as a surfactant, emulsifier, and anti-static additive to improve dispersion and formulation stability, and can help adjust viscosity and processing performance. In coatings and inks, it can enhance wetting, dispersion, and adhesion to substrates. In polymer systems it may act as a stabilizer or processing aid, and may be evaluated as an intermediate in certain chemical syntheses.
