Product Introduction:
Coco trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC), also known by its INCI name Cocotrimonium Chloride, is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) and a widely used cationic surfactant. It typically appears as a clear to yellowish liquid, usually supplied as an aqueous solution (e.g., 50% or 70%).
CTAC features an alkyl chain derived from coconut fatty acids (a blend of C8 to C18, predominantly C12 and C14) and a trimethylammonium head group. This amphiphilic structure makes it effective as a conditioning agent, antistatic agent, and emulsifier, particularly in personal care and cleaning products.
Main Uses:
-
Cosmetics & Personal Care (Hair Care): CTAC is a staple ingredient in hair conditioners, shampoos, and hair treatments. Its cationic nature allows it to adsorb onto negatively charged hair surfaces, providing conditioning, detangling, softness, shine, and antistatic effects.
-
Cosmetics & Personal Care (Skin Care): It is also used in some skin care formulations as an emulsifier, emollient, or mild antimicrobial agent.
-
Fabric Softeners: In laundry applications, CTAC is employed in fabric softeners due to its ability to impart softness and reduce static cling on textiles.
-
Detergents and Industrial Cleaners: While primarily known for personal care, its surfactant properties also make it useful in certain specialized detergents, industrial cleaners, and sanitizers, where its cationic nature contributes to cleaning and disinfection.
-
Antimicrobial Agent and Disinfectant: Like many QACs, CTAC exhibits antimicrobial properties and can be included in formulations requiring mild antiseptic or preservative action.
