Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride CTAC

Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride CTAC is a quaternary ammonium-based cationic surfactant supplied as a clear liquid ranging from colorless to lightly pale yellow at approximately 25°C. It is widely used as a functional raw material in fabric-softener, textile-care, hair-care, cosmetic, wastewater-treatment, and specialty industrial formulations. The material provides surface-active, emulsifying, softening, and antistatic functionality. Its cationic character makes it particularly suitable for textile-conditioning and personal-care systems where improved surface conditioning, static-control performance, and emulsion stability are required. CTAC is also valued for its stability and compatibility with selected surfactant and formulation systems. The referenced product information highlights resistance to heat, light, pressure, acidic and alkaline conditions, together with good surface activity and biodegradation characteristics. The referenced quality specification controls free amine, ash content, active ingredient concentration, and pH across Pure-grade, First grade, and Qualified grades. Final suitability should be evaluated according to the intended application, required grade, supplier-specific documentation, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Store in securely closed and appropriately labeled compatible containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated chemical-storage area. Protect the material from excessive heat, direct sunlight, contamination, and incompatible substances. Cetrimonium Chloride is an industrial chemical that requires controlled professional handling. Avoid unnecessary direct exposure and follow the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet, workplace chemical-safety procedures, and applicable protective-equipment requirements. Storage, transport, spill response, and disposal should follow applicable regulations and the technical and safety documentation provided by the actual PBL supplier.
