Quaternary ammonium ethosulfate

Quaternary ammonium ethosulfate (CAS 68308-64-5) is a cationic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty chains, used for its conditioning and emulsifying properties.

Where is Quaternary ammonium ethosulfate used?

• Personal care: conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair rinses, conditioners and skin creams
• Textile and leather: softening and antistatic treatment
• Industrial and institutional cleaning: wetting and dispersion in hard surface cleaners and fabric softeners
• Water treatment: aids dispersion and stabilization of treatment chemical blends
• Its cationic charge modifies substrate surfaces and disperses actives where anionic surfactants are unsuitable.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm active content, pH range and compatibility with the supplier before procurement.

Commercial specifications

• Active content commonly 50% to 80% in aqueous solution
