Cetrimonium chloride (CTAC) is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt commonly used as a light conditioning agent in hair care products. In conditioners and cream rinses, it enhances both wet and dry combing while minimizing static electricity. As a cationic compound, CTAC is mainly found in conditioning products rather than shampoos.
Cetrimonium chloride, also known as cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride active agent has good compatibility; Good chemical stability, heat, light, pressure, strong acid and alkali resistance; It has excellent permeability, softening, emulsification, antistatic, biodegradability and bactericidal properties.
Beyond hair care, it is utilized in asphalt emulsification, waterproof coating emulsification, and soft processing of glass fibers. Other applications include industrial auxiliaries, silicone oil emulsifiers, pharmaceutical industry aids, textile and leather chemical auxiliaries, emulsion foaming agents, and soft antistatic agents for material fibers and polyester silk.
