Distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is an organic compound classified as quaternary ammonium salt. The nitrogen center substituted with two methyl groups and two stearyl groups. The combination of long-chain hydrocarbon groups and the cationic ammonium confers surfactant- or a detergent-like properties. It was once a major component of fabric softeners, but has been largely phased out because of its low biodegradability. In household products, it may also be found as an ingredient in cosmetics and hair conditioners in which it is added primarily for its antistatic effects. It is also used in organic synthesis as a phase transfer catalyst to increase reaction rates in a two-phase organic-water system.

Usage

1. Can be used as softener, antistatic agent, conditioner and fungicide. Used in fabric softener, hair conditioner, oil well mining fungicide, organobentonite modifier and mineral flotation agent

2. It is widely used in fabrics, textiles, light industry, chemical industry, oil mining and other fields. It can be used as bactericidal and sludge antifouling agent in water treatment. It can be used as a soft conditioner and antistatic agent of the fabric, which can give the fabric soft, smooth, bulky and other good hand feel, and the appearance is smooth and neat, and make the fabric anti-static, no dust, easy to iron, easy to dry, no static electricity, comfortable to wear. It can also be used as a modifier of bentonite, asphalt emulsifier, mineral flotation agent, for tertiary oil recovery, plastic antistatic agent and detergent, cosmetics and other fields.

3. Dioctachyldimethyl ammonium chloride can be used as sterilization and mud antifouling agent in water treatment, at the same time, it is widely used in fabrics, textiles, light industry, chemical industry, oil mining and other fields, can be a soft conditioner and antistatic agent of fabrics, can give fabrics soft, smooth, bulky and other good feel, and the appearance is smooth and neat, and make fabrics with antistatic, no dust, convenient Ironing, easy to dry, no static electricity, comfortable to wear. It can be used as a modifier of bentonite, asphalt emulsifier, mineral flotation agent, and also used in tertiary oil recovery, plastic antistatic agent, detergent, cosmetics and other industries. In addition, the product can also be used as stabilizers, lubricants, plastic additives, color decolorizers and preservatives.
