  • Applications

    Quaternium-70 is a cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant commonly used as a conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations (notably hair care) and as a surfactant and emulsifier in household cleaning products. It also functions as an antistatic and processing additive in polymers and plastics, and serves as a wetting agent or surfactant in coatings and inks, while in textile formulations it can act as a finishing or softening additive. Its use is formulation- and regulatory-dependent, and acceptable applications should follow local regulations and formulation limits.
