Product Introduction:
Cetyldimethylethylammonium Bromide (CDEAB) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) and a powerful cationic surfactant. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. CDEAB features a long cetyl (hexadecyl, C16) alkyl chain, two methyl groups, and one ethyl group attached to a positively charged nitrogen center.
This amphiphilic structure, particularly the long hydrocarbon chain, makes it an effective conditioning agent, antistatic agent, and antimicrobial agent, widely used in various personal care formulations and other industrial applications.
Main Uses:
-
Cosmetics & Personal Care (Hair Conditioning): CDEAB is a key ingredient in hair conditioners, rinse-off treatments, and some shampoos. Its cationic charge allows it to strongly adsorb onto negatively charged hair surfaces, providing excellent conditioning, detangling, softness, shine, and antistatic benefits.
-
Antiseptics and Disinfectants: Like many other QACs, CDEAB exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. It is used in antiseptic formulations, disinfectants for surfaces, and sanitizers.
-
Phase Transfer Catalysis: Due to its lipophilic quaternary ammonium cation, CDEAB can function as a phase transfer catalyst, facilitating reactions between reactants in immiscible organic and aqueous phases by transporting anionic reagents into the organic phase.
-
Surfactant and Emulsifier: Its cationic surfactant properties make it suitable as an emulsifier in various formulations, helping to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. It can also act as a wetting agent.
-
Research Reagent: In laboratory settings, it is used as a research reagent for studying surface chemistry, colloidal systems, and membrane interactions.
