Product Applications

  • Overview:Ester quaternary ammonium salt is a new type of cationic surfactant with excellent softness, antistatic properties, resistance to yellowing, good water solubility, softening and smoothing properties, re-wetting properties, compatibility, and low foaming.
  • Textiles:It can be applied to the softening finishing of bleached fabrics and can replace dialkyl quaternary ammonium salts (D1821) for widespread use in the softening finishing of various garments.
  • Daily Chemicals:Can be used in daily chemicals, fabric softeners, washing, and cleaning products.
  • Formulation:Can be formulated into a high concentration of 20% for storage without layering. It can be used alone or in combination with smoothing silicone oil, flakes, stearic acid, high-carbon alcohols, etc. The dosage is low; generally, 2-3% of the fabric weight can achieve a satisfactory softening effect.
  • Environmental:Contains no APEO or formaldehyde. It is readily biodegradable and a green environmental protection product.
  • Wide Application:Widely used as a finishing softener, antistatic agent, hair conditioner, and car rinse agent for fibers, yarns, and fabrics such as dyed and finished cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester, and acrylic.
