Cosmetic Grade Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride CAS 122-19-0
Products Description
- Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride is a cationic surfactant widely used in personal care products and industrial applications. It has good antistatic, lubricity and bactericidal properties.
- Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride has certain hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. It can form a colloidal solution in water because the cationic part (ammonium ion) of it can interact with water molecules to some extent, while the long-chain stearyl group is hydrophobic. It also has good solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, which is beneficial to its application in different formulation systems, like in the formulation of some cleaning products containing multiple organic solvents.
- Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride is a versatile cationic surfactant widely used in personal care and industrial products. It plays an important role in modern skin care and beauty formulations due to its good antistatic, lubricating and antibacterial properties. When used, attention should be paid to its concentration and formulation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Function
- Surfactant: As a cationic surfactant, Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride can reduce the surface tension of liquids, improving the spreadability and usage experience of the product.
- Antistatic Agent: In hair care products, Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride reduces static electricity and improves hair’s smoothness and combability.
- Lubricant: Provides good lubrication and is suitable for use in skin and hair care products.
- Bactericide: Has certain antimicrobial properties and can help inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
Application
- Personal Care Products
In hair conditioners, Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride can adsorb on the surface of hair, making the hair softer and smoother. Its cationic nature can neutralize the negative charges on the surface of hair, reduce static electricity among hairs and thus prevent hair from tangling. Meanwhile, in some skin creams, lotions and other products, it can help with emulsification, enabling better mixing of oil and water phases, and it can form a protective film on the skin surface, enhancing the moisturizing performance of the products.
- Industrial Cleaning Field
Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride can serve as an effective cleaner. During the metal cleaning process, it can remove oil stains and impurities on the metal surface. This is because its lipophilic group (stearyl group) can combine with oil stains, while its hydrophilic group (ammonium ion part) can disperse the oil stains in water to achieve the purpose of cleaning. In the cleaning of industrial equipment, it can also prevent dirt from redepositing and keep the equipment clean.
- Textile Field
In the textile printing and dyeing process, Benzyldimethylstearylammonium Chloride can act as a leveling agent. It can help dyes distribute evenly on fabric fibers and improve the dyeing quality. The principle is that it can adsorb on the fiber surface, adjust the charge property of the fiber surface, making it easier for dye molecules to approach the fiber and attach evenly, thus reducing the phenomenon of uneven dyeing.
