  • Applications

    TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide; CAS 1119-97-7) is a quaternary ammonium surfactant with high surface activity used as a cationic surfactant in formulation science. In practice, it acts as a surfactant and wetting agent in household and industrial cleaning formulations; as a conditioning and fabric-softening surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products; as an emulsifier and stabilizer in polymer and latex processing; as an additive in coatings, inks, and adhesives to improve wetting, dispersion, and leveling; and as a textile finishing additive to aid softening and fabric handling.
