  • Applications

    Stearoxypropyl dimethylamine (CAS 17517-01-0) is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of cationic surfactants (quats), which are commonly employed in hair care conditioning formulations and fabric softeners, as well as in household cleaners. It can function as an emulsifier or surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products, and as a building block for specialty surfactants used in coatings, inks, and adhesives; it is also employed as an intermediate in polymer and plastics processing where cationic surfactants aid processing and performance.
